  • Material: porcelain
  • Size: 14 H × 10 W × 11 D cm (5.5 × 3.9 × 4.3 in)

In common maneki-neko tradition, the raised right paw is associated with money or good fortune, while the left is associated with welcoming people or customers. This double-paw pose brings the two traditional associations together. Colour carries meaning too. Gold is most often linked with wealth and commerce, and calico is the traditional form of the lucky cat, commonly described as broadly auspicious.

An ema is a Japanese plaque traditionally used for written wishes; here it appears as part of the figurine's decorative design.

Small differences in color or pattern placement may occur.

DISPLAY AND CARE

  • Its 10 × 11 cm footprint suits a shelf, entryway table, desk or shop counter.
  • Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Lift the figurine from its body or base rather than the raised paws.
  • Avoid pressure on the ema plaque and raised decorative details.
  • Do not soak or use abrasive cleaners.
