| Description |
| Very nice set of conch shell menuki used as war horns. In the old days, the samurai used conch shells as warning and signaling horns. This set which is done very well , is made of dark black shakudo, with finely carved silver for the cords. Gold also accents the piece and they are done very well. The style of these menuki are that of the Goto School, and they look to be from the early Edo period. In very good condition. |
