(listing for cat only)

This listing is for a quaint maneki neko (lucky Japanese beckoning cat). The cat is made of a thin baked clay. It's body is painted gold with cute facial expressions in black making a nice accent.

The cat sports a red and green bib with pink flowers and has a lucky gold bell hanging around it's neck. The shape of this reproduction cat is reminiscent of the clay maneki neko found in the Taisho Era (1912-1926). This is especially true of the long whiskers that circle up over the cat's eyes to make eyebrows and the thin clay structure of the cat. At that time a gold maneki neko was said to bring good fortune regarding money.

The cat measures 20 cm (8”) tall and about 10 cm (4”) wide and is in great condition. The old fashioned style of this cat figurine goes together well with other Japanese antique goods. Display the maneki neko in your home for good fortune and a nice Japanese accent.
- weighs 320 gm.

MANEKI NEKO
Maneki neko, or the beckoning cat, is a good luck charm that dates back to the Edo era. It was traditionally used by businesses to beckon in customers and money. A raised left paw beckons in customers and a raised right paw beckons in money and good fortune.

These days, not just businesses, but almost every Japanese household has a maneki neko for good luck. Sometimes both of the paws are raised! There are so many different kinds of maneki neko and they really make a wonderful online collection item.
