ED & LINDY'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURES....... In 2000, we began a website
chronicling our travels. After using that site for 17 years, technology changed; it can no longer be updated. Welcome to our NEW SITE which follows our journeys from the Fall of 2016 to present. Our thanks go to Andy Paluch/WebGuyz!
This is a "Dogu" a terracotta clay figurine that depicts humanoid and animal features. This one actually has a heart-shaped face. These Dogu come the Japanese Jomon Period (2000 - 1000 B.C.). This item is also an "Important Cultural Property". NOTE: If you want to see more detail, click on the image (it will take a few seconds to compile).
