This gourd is a one-of-a-kind piece, carefully cultivated with great care, with each stopper hand-carved and decorated, taking time and effort to create. I displayed it in my room with care, but I am selling it to declutter. ● Gourds are considered lucky charms, symbolizing "prosperity of descendants," "good health," "warding off evil," and "bringing happiness." It seems that when three are gathered, it's considered "sanbyo (san-gourd)" for good luck, and when six are gathered, it's "mubyo (roku-gourd)" for good health, with the meaning changing depending on the number. ※ The neck has a unique shape. ※ It does not stand on its own. ※ The decorative cord and tassel are deteriorated and faded. There are some cracks on the gourd. (Photos 5-6) I have wiped off the dust as much as possible, but I may have missed some. Please forgive me. A decorative ornament in the shape of a magic mallet is attached. ※ The actual color may differ slightly depending on the screen of your computer or smartphone. ※ As it is an aged item and a natural product, there may be stains, scratches, and dirt. ※ Please understand that this is a long-term home storage item. ※ It will be shipped anonymously using recycled packaging materials. ✳️ Please read the profile. #Gourd #Hyotan #Gourd #LuckyCharm #Decoration #WardOffEvil #Natural #FengShui #Antique #SenchaDecoration #TeaUtensils #OldGourd #HangingDecoration #WallDecoration #Ornament Taste: Retro
