Japanese Antique Bronze Cats Pair Hand Cast With Playful Pose

A fine pair of antique curious Japanese cast bronze sensuous cats beautifully handcrafted in an attractive and unusual style.

It was a beneficial situation for both species, cats got a reliable source of prey, and humans got effortless pest control. This mutually beneficial arrangement began the relationship between cats and humans which continues to this day.
In Japan, there are also cats described as Maneki Neko, also referred to in English as the good fortune or good luck cat...
