This antique Menuki features a motif of Katchu Sode (Samurai armor sleeve), specifically the Ōsode (great sleeve), crafted from Shakudou. The design beautifully engraves the armor's small leather and iron plates bound with silk threads, using gold and black colors. Made during the Edo period, this unsigned piece showcases the intricate metalworking techniques used for sword fittings.
