This fuchi-kashira set, likely crafted from shakudō, features a finely engraved shishi (lion-dog) with two flowing tails. The kashira depicts the full figure in low-relief, while the fuchi continues the theme with the creature's tails wrapping around the band like stylized waves. The restrained and sophisticated aesthetic, emphasizing line engraving over bold sculptural forms, is consistent with the style of the Yokoya school from the Edo period.
