An antique Maneki Neko (beckoning cat) from the 1920s-30s. The bewitching eyes and arabesque patterns on the body are artistic. The colors of the bib are also beautiful. It has an atmosphere unlike anything in the present day, setting it apart from other Maneki Neko. Black cats also have the meaning of warding off evil, and are said to keep evil spirits away. Raising the right hand specifically has the meaning of improving fortune in money. I am drawn to the texture, the natural feel, and the expression that have arisen with the passage of time. It has a strong presence and will look great as interior decor, and the cat will heal you. ◯ Size (cm) Height 23, Width 13, Depth 13 Also on sale #Kevin'sRoom Antique Vintage Brocante Orne de Feuilles Retro vintage antique lucky cat Maneki Neko Japan kutani imari Kutaniyaki figurines Feng Shui Art and Crafts Antiques Old Art Buddhist tools National Treasure Kitaoji Rosanjin Stage props Old art Old tools Buddhism Buddha Oriental art Amitabha Tea ceremony utensils Old tools Art gallery Modernism Modern art Contemporary art African art Art Museum Art art Mid-century Japan Folk Crafts Museum Folk crafts Handmade Folk art Cubism Asian goods Nordic goods Showa retro Taisho Meiji Edo Romance Dolls Figurines Arabia Marimekko Alessi alvar aalto aino aalto Alvar SSKK Iittala bird Aalto Ilmari Tapiovaara Wegner Finn Juhl Gustavsberg Oiva Toikka Lisa Larson Lucie Rie Bernard Leach Kanjiro Kawai Bauhaus Sun Koro Ku Yanagi Soetsu Sori Yanagi Takashi Murakami Arita ware Kutani ware Koimari Imari Yachimun Koishiwara ware Onta ware Mashiko ware Hagi ware Koransha Old Shigaraki Shigaraki ware Seto ware Bizen ware Mino ware Kiyomizu ware Kyo ware Fukagawa se Seto Novelty Amabro Utensils Holmstock Kensington Cat Noritake Royal Doulton J&G Meakin mid winter Royal Worcester Rorstrand Meissen Royal Crown Derby
