    Description

    This Japanese hand-carved cedar (Cryptomeria) horny toad is totally amazing for the manner in which its carved form brilliantly corresponds to the patterns in the grain of the wood. Believed to bring good luck, particularly to those traveling, it makes sense that there would be a tradition in Japan of carving toads like this one that could be carried in a pocket—and surely this lovely little one would bring good fortune wherever he goes!
    Good condition
    has 1 tiny chip on the bottom of its left foot (see pictures)
    3.5" x 1.5" in aprox.
