【Product Description】 This is an antique gourd doll purchased by my mother approximately 60 years ago. It's a folk craft with a charming, simple expression and retro decorations. Gourds have been cherished since ancient times as good luck charms and for warding off evil. It's recommended for display in the entryway or alcove, as a Japanese-style interior decoration, and for collectors. ■Product Features • Age: Approximately 60 years old (purchased around the 1960s) • Material: Presumably made from processed natural gourds. • Design: Traditional rounded shape with a painted face and characters on the body. (The characters are written in a skillful brushstroke style, making them difficult to read, but characters like "spring" and "wisdom" can be seen) • Accessories: A tasseled string (attached in a tied state) ■Product Condition Due to its age, there is deterioration, scratches, and peeling. • There is peeling and fading of the characters and gold leaf on the body. (Please check the photos) • There are natural distortions in the gourd, and small scratches on the bottom from the time of purchase. • The face paint is relatively well-preserved. • We would like those who can appreciate it as a "period piece" with the deep flavor unique to antiques and curios to consider purchasing it. ■Size (approximate) • Height: Approximately 11cm • Width (at the widest part): Approximately 5cm #GourdDoll #FolkCraft #Antique #Vintage #OldItem #ShowaRetro #JapaneseInterior - Color: Red and black hat, brown body - Material: Wood - Features: Hand-painted face, decorative characters - Decoration: Gold patterns and string Thank you for viewing.
