In Japanese mythology What is the symbolism of a child with a roll mounted on the back of a giant tent

I an a netsuke child in the back of a tent, with a roll. Is there a God? I guess that's something to do with wisdom. Thanks in advance.

Children's Day in Japan, use a command like this: Here is a quote from the source below, explaining that "Gogatsu Ningyo (Dolls fifth months) are shown in the houses and windows with images of Kintarou, usually mounted on a big tent and a traditional Japanese samurai helmet, a Kabuto. Kintarou and Kabuto are symbols of a child strong and healthy. Kintarou (金太郎) is the name of the child hero of the Heian era, famous for its strength as a child. It is said that Kintarou mounted on a bear instead of a horse, and playing with animals in the mountains when he was young. "
