Description |
Most likely as set of menuki by the Ezo School. This School is very old, and well known, There are Juyo items by this school, especially those pieces from the Nanbokucho period.
The subject of an elephant is also puzzling, sometimes we can see foreign subjects in Ezo fittings, but an elephant is definitely rare. Gilt over yamagane is the material used for this set. Very interesting all around.
