Description
19th century unusually small gilded bronze amulet in a shape of a fox sitting on a base, its front paws on a ball. This particular model represents the Inari fox - the benevolent and well disposed creature, being the messenger of the God of rice and harvest, as opposed to the other foxes, which in Japan are generally believed to be evil creatures. The base carries a single character HO (offering) on one side and a tama (Precious Jewel) on the other. Beautifully cast, well captured alert attitude of the creature. Wonderful patina, some wear to gilding, very pleasant to handle. Height 1.1 inches.
