(6.8cm tall) Please read the whole description! Here is a gentle but strong kitsune fox spirit sculpture. It feels full of the magical power of autumn, of warmth, life, and contentment. It also feels fulls of joy, and like it will hold onto that joy whatever happens.
And on that: I'm offering it for sale, BUT any prospective adopter needs to know that it has a crack in its base. It has survived two firings, so it's not likely to fall apart, but it does need to be treated maybe a little more carefully than some others. I considered not selling it, but it's beautiful and special and has much to offer the world. As do we when we're a little broken.
This fox statue is made from stoneware clay and has been fired once, glazed, and then raku fired for the amazing gifts of smoke and flame.
Kitsune are the fox-messengers of the Shinto kami Inari Okami: the deity of rice, sake, agriculture, fertility, tea, and prosperity, among other things. Kitsune foxes guard Inari shrines and carry his/her messages to us.
Through my work, I hope to bring a little nature, peace, gentleness, and spirit to the world.
