Decorative ornament - 九谷焼Kutani "唐獅子と小槌 Karajishi Lion and gavel." - Japan
Kutani ware Karajishi and gavel.
Karashishi is a fantasy creature that has its roots in the lion.
It is popular as a sacred beast that wards off evil spirits with its majestic roar.
The gavel is a property of Daikokuten [one of the Japanese gods], and is said to bring wealth and make wishes come true if you wave it with intention, making it an auspicious motif.
The bright red color is beautiful, and it is finished with gold and various colors.
Condition: No chips or cracks.
The string attached to the gavel is frayed. Please check the photo.
It's not something that stands out.
