New Year’s Sake Bottles and Shrine Plaque (Ema) for the Year of the Rooster
A small, low table with a square top and four legs, made of dark wood with curved cutouts on the sides. On top of the table are two white bottles with narrow necks and wide bodies, decorated with red and blue designs. Each bottle has a red and white tassel attached to the neck. To the left of the table is a small, framed picture lying on its side, showing a rooster with a yellow body, black and white tail feathers, and a red comb. The background of the image is beige, with Japanese writing in black ink on either side. A small piece of paper at the bottom center reads "1961".
