The well-known Fushimi dolls of Kyoto are said to be the origin of Japanese clay dolls. This is a monkey from the zodiac series. - This item is being sold as it has scratches and stains due to its age. There is age-related deterioration. Also, there is something like a non-slip pad attached to the bottom, which appears to have been added later. I can add more photos, so please let me know if you have any concerns. Please check the photos before purchasing.
