An adorable handmade cast of a zodiac sign statuette, usually displayed at home during the year of such sign. In Japan, Chinese zodiac signs are used. People born in years 1994, 2006, 2018 (and so on) have a dog as their sign. Of course, you do not have to be born under this sign to enjoy the item. For sure, it will make any dog lover happy :)
This metal cast sculpture is shaped like a chubby puppy raising its paw, inspired by the artwork of the famous Edo (ancient Tōkyō) painter Itō Jakuchū (伊藤 若冲). The surface is treated with paint, to achieve the golden color. A small wooden stand with the name of the designer is included.
