This is an old, heavy one-stroke carving I received a while ago from someone who had good luck with money. I believe it is Daikokuten. I would like to pass it on to someone who will take care of it. Please check the images for small age-related scratches, etc. Thank you for looking. Daikokuten is derived from Mahakala (Shiva), the god of destruction in Indian mythology. In Japan, he is known as a god of good fortune, bringing benefits such as a bountiful harvest, success, and prosperity in business, and is one of the Seven Lucky Gods. He is often depicted riding on a bale of rice and holding a magic mallet. He is a uniquely Japanese god, having been syncretized with Okuninushi-no-Mikoto from Japanese mythology to suit Japanese folk beliefs. ※ The following are search terms: popeye brutus casa brutus antique vintage retro antique vintage antique market flea market old tools crafts crafts art folk art folk crafts Scandinavian Eastern European goods Scandinavian goods Eastern European goods American goods Asian goods Showa retro romance contemporary mid-century figure wooden wood carving wood carving tin toys
