Japanese artisans have long held mastery in the creation of miniature treasures, or netsuke. This gourd is ingeniously carved out of a walnut shelf with a polished bone spur acting as the stem at the gourd's top. A symbol of divinity, good fortune and prosperity, this gourd would have been the perfect worry stone for a person of status in Japan to take in hand when they needed a little extra luck

Andrea Goldman | Andrea Goldman Design

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
