Over the years, archaeologists have discovered many different types of clay sculptures - dog ū—— It can be traced back to the prehistoric period of Japanese rope writing (1400-800 BC). Various forms have been unearthed in northeastern Japan, some sitting, some standing, and some with almost no surface decoration, while others, like this example, are known as the "goggles" type with unique large eyes, decorated with colors and complex carved decorations. Popular theory suggests that they are talismans related to health and childbirth, and after use, they are intentionally damaged and disposed of. They are now housed at the Minneapolis Academy of Arts.
