AA378 This is a zodiac ornament of "Bu-roko" (cloth tigers), a folk craft from China. Made using cloth and vibrant colors, it is crafted in the shape of animals. As a talisman and good luck charm, it is often displayed, especially to wish for the healthy growth of children. "Bu-roko" is famous for its tiger motifs, but many are also made in the image of the twelve zodiac animals like this one. Size: Approximately 13cm x 8cm per animal Overall length when hung: 140cm This is a rare antique vintage item from the time period, part of an antique collection. There are some natural stains and minor scratches due to aging from long-term storage. Some sawdust-like powder may come out from the inner material. It probably won't fall out if it's fixed in place. I have included close-up images to show the scratches and stains, but please feel free to comment if you have any concerns about points that are difficult to see in the images or any other details. Please consider this item, not only as a practical item, but also as an addition to your antique collection. Period piece, item from the time period, antique, vintage, antique, Showa retro
