Offered as an authentic antique Japanese menuki, this piece comes out of a well-known collection, and that provenance is the only detail the supplier provides. Menuki sit beneath the wrap of a sword hilt as small decorative ornaments, and single pieces and pairs are collected as fine metalwork in their own right. Subject, metal and period are not stated.

Examine the photographs closely for the motif and the surface, because that is where the information is. A Utah collector might pair it with other fittings for a display board, or use it to complete a hilt in restoration. We present it as the supplier does, an antique piece with collection provenance, and add nothing about maker or age. It is listed as used.
