VINTAGE JAPANESE JIZAI KAGI IRORI MINGEI - VINTAGE JAPANESE WOOD CARVING DECOR.

I believe this is decor that would be hung via rope which would hang pots and kettles etc in Japan this is what I've found by looking on eBay and Google images etc but please research for yourselves

It reminds me of the netsuke style carvings and would look great as just an obnoxious pendant in a rope necklace
