About 70,000 yen ($850) worth of gold.

Pretty poor miniature sculpture/casting, no detail at all, I wonder if it wasn't for the fact it's gold if it would attract any attention. Lots of small jeweler/craftsmen here that produce far more intricate and detailed work but usually are limited to working with silver.

compare to the Goto school of metal artist ( Edo Period ), this rabbit thingie is pure garbage ( except for the gold content )

Obviously some-one has a lot more money then I have or could even dream of.
