Title
Kashira with a Gourd and a Horse
Description
English: The kashira is designed in the shape of a gourd. A horse is shown emerging from the side of the gourd. This is an illustration of the idiom "like a horse coming out of a gourd," which is used to describe unexpected things. The saying may have developed from stories of the Chinese immortal Chokaro (Ch. Zhang Guo [Chang Kuo]) who carried his magical mule in a gourd. The kashira is part of a set with Walters 51.970.
