This cast iron rat bunchin is about 4.75" long x 1.25" high x .75" wide and not marked. Bunchins, paperweights, are used to hold paper in place while doing calligraphy. I found a large selection of Zodiac bunchin, probably a set, but this rat and one other were of the best casting quality. This one has some green coloring on it, probably to suggest it is bronze, but it attracts a magnet, so it is definitely iron.
For some reason, the third image caused a server error which prevented uploading this page. I used my graphic hardware to validate the image and there was no issue with it and the size is very small, so no idea what was going on. I did a minor edit to the image and the page then loaded with no issues. No idea what was going on, but thought I would mention it, in case anyone else is having issues with loading posts. I just removed images until the post finally loaded and then added them back until I got the upload error, which led me to this image.
Thanks, kev123!
Very cool zodiac rat piece, nice detail.
Our site has unsolved problems as you know. Server error with photo usually means you have to make it smaller, server error with entire post I usually shut off my tablet & try later. Hey at least the site is still going right :)
This is over the top awesome!!
Cool find. You seem to always find good stuff. Seems your filling your new place up..
Thanks, Jenni!. I've loaded some pretty large images with no issues. I think CW shrinks them to a manageable size. This image was really small. Not sure what the issue was. I'm afraid that when something fatal to the site happens, it will never get fixed.
Thanks, Scott! It is nice piece.
Thanks, dav2no1! I don't go to thrift shops any more. This piece came from Japan. Yeah, filling it up!
