A sculpted image of the deity of good fortune Daikokuten (大黒天) dating to the very early 9th century at Kongōrinji Temple (金剛輪寺) in Aishō Town, Shiga Prefecture, said to be one of if not the earliest example of this particular deity in Japan and here seen during a rare unveiling lasting until December 10, 2023

Hi, I'm hoping you or someone reading knows the answer to this. That latest kimono pattern: does anyone know the name of the mark on the mallet's flat, round side? It's a stack of three ovals. It's not the jewel (usually on Daikokuten's rice sacks). It does appear in the older sculptures of the god. I've scoured all I can about uchide no kozuchi, but while I've seen it acknowledged, there's no name. The color symbolism also seems consistent, and again, no explanation found. Thanks for your consideration :)
I always saw this mark as indeed a stylised houju 宝珠 or tama 玉 (wish fulfilling jewel/Cintamani stone). Depictions do not always show the flaming parts or tip point, hôju are sometimes only pearl-like with those inner "ripples".
This vase is a good example:
The uchide no kozuchi mallet is a pretty old item, appearing in tales since at least Heian. It sounds right that its magical properties echoing the famous Cintamani stone (and Daikokuten powers) had those symbolically merged overtime :)
