From the lower left picture, it appears to be ivory. I think I can see the Schreger lines. See link below.

A better picture of the bottom also would show the signature and someone may be able to identify the artist.

The flat bottom is somewhat unusual in my limited experience. It almost seems that the netsuke is for show sitting on a shelf rather than for daily use.

Cheers,
Stan
