So that is what they are called ....

I think the thing it (he?) is holding is a club. Demons in Japanese art hold sort of similar, very long iron clubs. It is sort of a symbol of their strength and power, as I understand it.

By the way, Dan, who is the fellow in your avatar? Do you know how old the statue is?
