戸張富久は通称を喜惣次といい、豊島郡雑司ヶ谷村に生まれた。後藤家十三代光孝の門人となり、後藤家の彫技を修めた後に独立し、自ら も齋藤富隨など門人を育成した。実子に喜久がおり、彫金の家業を継承している。作風は赤銅魚子地に高彫もしくは金紋を施した御家彫の典型 的作風のものを多く見る。 本作は赤銅魚子地に金紋で霊獣を配した小柄・笄と、金無垢地容彫で同じく霊獣を彫った目貫による三所物である。その作域は師家である後 藤風の物で光孝の高弟であった富久の彫技が遺憾なく発揮されている。それぞれの霊獣は御家彫の伝統的な意匠によりながらも、配置する場所 や角度に工夫がなされており、恰も作品の中で霊獣が生きて飛び跳ねているかのように思わせる程である。戸張富久秀作の一組である。
