Japanese Antique Chicken Object 1860s-1900s / Animal Sculpture Wabi Sabi

About the Item

This is a very old Japanese chicken figurine. It is from the Meiji period (1860s-1900s). The body is made of paper, the beak of wood, and the legs of wire. The detailed usage is unknown, but we assume it is a part of lucky charms made for Japanese celebrations. This is a very cute and rare item that is not often seen. Size Left: W55mm D25mm H70mm Right: W40mm D30mm H55mm Weight 50g (per piece).
