She’s pink, mythical, and keeping one small secret. This nine-tailed fox is carved from pink picture jasper with gorgeous natural linework running throughout, including those darker sketch-like markings that make the stone itself look drawn. Add the huge fan of individually carved tails and the little fox perched at the front, and she has major “ancient magical artifact found at an estate sale” energy.
Nine-tailed fox spirits appear throughout East Asian folklore, with traditions including the Chinese huli jing, Japanese kitsune, and Korean kumiho. Their stories vary wildly, but they’re often associated with transformation, intelligence, supernatural ability, and fox spirits becoming increasingly powerful as they age and gain additional tails. Nine is generally where we reach final-boss fox status.
And now, about her battle wound: one ear is chipped off. When displayed facing forward, it is very difficult to notice, which is precisely how Mother Magpie herself got bamboozled by this little lady. The price has been reduced accordingly, but please review photos and purchase knowing the imperfection is present. She remains extremely cute and appears entirely unbothered by the situation.
