About the Item

Huge sculpture of a rat with a dark brown patina, its pose reinforces the schematic treatment. Its simple head and hardly figured moustache, its smooth and plump body and very detailed tail rolled up on his right side give this sculpture a undebatable charm. Especially since all around Asia rats are seen as rather positive animals, its as much a symbol of intelligence and good luck than it is a symbol of prosperity fertility and wealth Japan – Meiji era (1868-1912), end of XIX th century Length: 7 cm – width : 12 cm – Height: 13 cm
