This item is one of the “Sue ware” haniwa figures of human from the late Kofun period that were excavated from Kitakawashiri village (present-day Kitakawashiri, Hodatsushimizu Town). Although it is missing the head and legs, it is thought to be a horse-riding male clay figure, based on a comparison with a similar clay figure excavated from the Yatano Ejiri tumulus in Komatsu City. This item is introduced in Oshimizu Town History with a photo as a shrine maiden clay figure, and the collection site is given the name “Menden Omi kawaguchi Site”.

Established in 1989 to preserve and utilize valuable materials handed down from the predecessor school when the university campus was relocated from Kanazawa Castle Site. Former teaching materials such as beautifully shaped physics experiment apparatus and mushroom moulage specimens that allow you to observe mushrooms as they were 100 years ago are fun-to-see natural museum materials in the museum's collection. The museum also holds many archive such as timetables that show the hard work of medical students 100 years ago, as well as archaeological materials excavated within the campus.
