These three iron bunchin weights are 9 inches long. I have not received these, yet, so not sure of exact dimensions and weight. There appear to be 12 animals on each rod, so perhaps are animals in the Japanese zodiac?
They have what is probably a store label and "MADE IN JAPAN" labels. Guessing "Krispen" is a store? I bought these from a seller in Sugarland, TX and there is a Krispen store in Houston....
Images are not great but I could not pass these up since I have not seen anything like them and the castings are possibly very good, given their modest size. Will update images what I receive them.
They are used for holding down paper while doing calligraphy.
May e paper weights? Here's one with the 7 lucky gods..
