Devil character jug medium - Japan circa 1980

Devil medium size character jug produced in Japan circa 1980. The devil is the personification of evil as it is conceived in various cultures and religious traditions. He is seen as the objectification of a hostile and destructive force. Jeffrey Burton Russell states that the different conceptions of the devil can be summed up as a principle of evil independent from God, an aspect of God, a created being turning evil (such as a fallen angel), and a symbol of human evil. A twisted rope forms the handle of the jug.
