　　As a souvenir from shrine or temple, Japanese often gets a lucky charm.
　　"午 (go, uma)" of the twelve signs of the zodiac is embroidered on this face.

　　The meaning is horse.

　　This is the Shimogamo Shinto Shrine's lucky charm.
　　The backside is embroidered in kanji with "下鴨 神社 (Shimogamo-jinja)".
