Lucky Cat Ornament

Description

This two-sided Christmas ornament features a Japanese “beckoning” cat surrounded by shiny gold rays; on back, a pearlized cat head pops up from a layered poinsettia flower. The metallic blue wood base is big: about 4-inches in diameter, 3/8 inch thick, and twirls easily to show both sides. It comes with a black gift box and tie, ready to give to pet lovers and collectors of animal-themed ornaments. Hang it from a Christmas tree, mantle, or as a year-round symbol of good fortune.

Each ornament is individually handmade, not mass produced. I handcut specialty papers, including: high-quality chiyogami designs from Japan; printed Indian cotton paper (from real cotton fibers); and handmade Himalayan prints from Nepal. Please allow for variations in papers and cuts, and know that what you’re getting is truly handmade, artisanal, and unique. It may become a family keepsake for generations to come.

But wait, there’s more: This is a very lucky cat! Right paw raised brings money and good fortune. Calico markings are the best of all luck, and white symbolizes purity, creativity, and a positive future. A glistening jewel on the collar indicates wealth, fortune and success.

This iconic feline, is a feng shui favorite for positive energy. Shopkeepers display Maneki Neko cats to bring in good business and prosperity. If you have an online business, hang this lucky ornament in your office or by your computer. In a cat lover home, it’s a happy decoration to display on a door, or over a cat’s food or sleeping area for good health.
