A set of three menuki featuring a combination of paulownia (kiri) and chrysanthemum (kiku) crests. The central piece displays the paulownia crest, flanked by chrysanthemum crests on either side, creating a dignified design. Both motifs are auspicious symbols, with paulownia representing prosperity and chrysanthemum symbolizing longevity. Crafted from shakudo nanako ground with gold iroe, these menuki exhibit a refined and elegant finish, suitable for a high-class tanto koshirae. Attributed to Kyo-Kinko (Kyoto metalwork).
