DescriptionA miniature replica of a roof tile modelled like a dolphin with a cylinder in its mouth. On each side of the base, 2 characters which read 'go raku' (my pleasure or I enjoy). It is one of a pair - the two would be joined together with a string from tail to tail & might serve to keep a scroll from fluttering in the breeze when it was hung on the wall.Status
