Japanese Hariko Bobble Head Tiger with Whiskers hook handle 4 7/8" across at baseNo way could I resist this little Japanese Hariko (paper mache) tiger, with those big red ears, heart shaped nose, and these great spiky wire whiskers! So Japanese maybe 1980s or so? and really a charmer. The head is attached to the interior of the neck by a thin wire, and I wouldn't say it is especially effective at bobbling, but it is very good at sitting on a shelf looking cute! Good vintage condition, with no notable dings; there is one spot on
