Kashira with Daikoku
(Japanese Military Armor)
One of the seven gods of good fortune, Daikoku, is peering out at the viewer from inside a bag of treasures. At the bottom of the bag is a silver rat. Rats are associated with Daikoku as a reminder that treasure must be guarded. This is part of a set with Walters 51.938.
