This is a fairly old Ebisu clay figure. It's likely from the mid-Edo period, a time when the Ebisu faith was flourishing. It has a good atmosphere and a rare expression. Its small size makes it appealing to display casually. It would also be nice to carry it as a charm or amulet... Please note that there is age-related wear and tear. #FolkToys #FolkReligion #Amulet #JapaneseHistory #HistoricalMaterials #Mythology #ShrinesAndTemples #Mingei (Folk Crafts) #PrayersForAAbundantCatch #Gods #GoodLuck #BuddhistArt #BuddhistStatues #Antique #Antique #OldThings #Sculpture #GoodLuckCharm #Art #CulturalProperty #Design #Art #Crafts #FolkCrafts #ManekiNeko (Beckoning Cat) #Fukusuke (Lucky Figure) #Charm
