BECKONING CAT PROTECTING FROM EVIL (Dealer: titcoRet) – Old Japanese pottery ‘Maneki-neko’ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maneki-neko), Taisho period, early 20th century, Kanazawa area, approx. H 22 x W 11 x D 13cm (8.66 x 4.33 x 5.11in). Black-colored maneki-neko is said that the charm from the evil coming over through the night, and its raising-up left arm effects for the trouble with human relations. Impressive sharp facial expression that keeps off the evil. Fine scratches and paint-peelings as seen.
