This is a vintage Japanese Maneki Neko known as a Beckoning Cat from mid.1900's. It was entirely hand made and hand painted.
This cat has a bell around the neck and carries Koban, gold coin with the writing, Senmanryo (10,000,000 coins).
Raising its left paw, it is beckoning good luck and happiness for its owner. It would make a great welcoming mascot for any entry to a home or business.
