Daikoku Tsuchi Ningyo Clay Doll
AG813-$90.00
This Japanese clay doll, tuchi-ningyo, possesses a joyful energy, putting a smile on your face. The facial expression, while some pigments are missed due to the age, is literally a "lucky one" and as Daikoku god typically characters he holds a magical mallet, wearing a flat black hat, and standing on the two bales of rice. Daikoku is often regarded as a god of kitchen, wealth, and prosperity. The condition is wonderful, no chips, cracks, excepts some pigments are missed, once again, due to the age. Ca. Early 1900s.
