Maneki neko, or beckoning cat, is a common Japanese figurine meant to bring good luck to the owner. It's generally seen with one or both paws raised, in a beckoning gesture. The left paw raised is to bring in more customers to a business, and the right paw raised is to bring in more money. This can often be seen near the entrance to businesses, or displayed somewhere in your home. This laser cut earring version contains a beckoning cat with both paws raised, holding a koban (an old Japanese coin).
