A pair of strong, upswept horns rises above a furrowed brow, and scrolling swirls of carved hair frame a stern, watchful expression. Fangs show beneath the broad nose, and a flowing, richly carved beard curls beneath the open mouth. The surface is a soft, matte slate grey with a quiet, stone-like presence. Colour may vary slightly with lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnigawara are ornamental ridge-end tiles placed on the roofs of Japanese temples, castles and traditional houses. They belong to a long protective tradition in Japanese architecture, in which a formidable face was set high on the roofline to guard the building below.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTraditionally, the onigawara is regarded as a talisman. It is said to ward off evil and misfortune and to watch over the household and those who live beneath it. This is a matter of custom and belief, and it is offered here as part of the cultural character of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis piece belongs to a Japanese traditional craft form. It is made in Japan of kawara, the traditional Japanese fired clay (ceramic) used for traditional Japanese ceramics. It suits a tokonoma, an entrance hall, a study or a collection of Japanese art and architectural ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Onigawara-style oni mask, demon ornament\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ceramic (kawara, traditional Japanese clay ceramic ornament)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slate grey, matte finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 24 cm wide x 22 cm high x 8 cm deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the seller: I am a craftsman in the kawara (Japanese roof tile) trade myself.
