This is a decorative horse (made by Masaku Oda) from "Kyoto Ceramic Dolls," traditional unglazed ceramic dolls made in Kyoto. It comes with a wooden tag bearing the artist's name "Masuzo" and a paulownia wood box. The motif is a "sacred horse," considered a vehicle for the gods, and is known as a lucky charm for "good luck" and "happiness." The dignified white horse is adorned with vibrant red and green decorations, making for a very auspicious design. How about it as an Eto (zodiac) decoration for the Year of the Horse, or as an interior decoration for the entrance or alcove? Gold leaf is applied to the vermilion bodice. It may look like stains or scratches in the photos, but that is the design. There are also parts on the white horse itself that look like stains, but they are believed to be part of the design, just like the gold leaf. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned, as it has been stored at home for a long time. 【Brand/Artist】 Kyoto Ceramic Dolls, Masaku Oda (or Masuzo Oda) 【Uses】 Eto decorations for the New Year, and Tango no Sekku (Boys' Festival) decorations for the May Festival Material: Ceramic (unglazed) 【Set Contents】 ・Horse figurine ・Black lacquered pedestal ・Wooden tag (Good Luck, Sacred Horse, Masuzo) ・Dedicated box 【Condition】 This is a stored item that came out during the organization of belongings.
