As the description states, this is a ten pound thing, made of granite. It was one of my Christmas gifts this year, and the only one that I managed to injure myself with. Anyone who is reading this should take note: Always verify that the giftwrapped box under the tree is safe before you pick it up in a sleep-addled haze. Toes are precious things and you only get 10.
With a little investigation, I've figured out that this is a carving of either a Shiisa or less likely a Fu Lion. Either way it is a statue that's supposed to help ward off evil spirits. I'm thinking about either putting it on a stand next to the door or leaving it sitting on top of my textbooks when I'm not using them.
Or maybe putting it in the fridge to ward off food spoilage.
put it on top your dishwasher so it doesn't fall apart again!
ReplyDeleteReading back over this blog almost a year later, I look over and notice that it is, in fact, sitting on my dishwasher. I don't remember putting it there.
ReplyDeleteThe dishwasher works, btw. . .
