    What she said. Tigerseye is yellow and brown and hawks eye is dark. They're both a form of quartz. The little dude...dunno, but I don't think he's elephant ivory.

    Agree. And the red tiger eye is called bull's eye.

    I don't think it is an actual netsuke, the thread seems to pass through him from head to foot.

    Correct, drilled and the cord passes through. What do you mean by not actual netsuke?

    Kard, it may have something to do with the holes in the figure.

    Here's an explanation:
    (Netsuke) normally have two connecting cord holes (known as himotoshi), but one will be much larger than the other

    and more from the same source:

    OTOH I've seen hawkseye and tigerseye necklaces with ivory bits before; I think they were done in the late 80s.

    This could depend on the region of origin. My antique netsuke, all signed and authenticated, do not have a distinctly larger hole. In Manju Netsuke (like a large button) it would be a hindrance.
