Provenance:
Collected:
Condition: Some cracks. Also, the ShiShi's muzzle is mostly broken off. This seems to be a common condition of ShiShi, possibly due to people trying to take the Tama (Jewel) guarded in their mouths. In this case, it's more likely because Umimatsu is very brittle and tends to crack.
