It is estimated to date from the mid-Showa period or potentially earlier.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe figure features a highly unusual pose for a Tanuki, raising its right paw in a beckoning gesture similar to a \"Maneki-neko\" (beckoning cat). It has a traditional round belly and is finished with a dark reddish-brown surface layer. The base shows signs of rustic finishing, and the molding exhibits a soft quality characteristic of older ceramic production.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 25.5 cm \/ 10.03 in\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 14.0 cm \/ 5.51 in\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 13.0 cm \/ 5.11 in\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 1600 g \/ 3.52 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe item is in vintage condition, showing signs of aging.
