Kanamono 金物　Metal Figures



19th Century.
Length 1 9/16 ins. (4 cms) This kanemono (metal thing) was made either as a purse decoration or a menuki (used under the braiding on the hilt of a Japanese sword). It shows Daruma in a langorous pose holding his hossu (fly whisk). The copper base is decorated with gold and silver and is a fine example of the metal worker's skill.

Offered at ebay by Brian Page Antiques, 2005.
