This is a single menuki (katamenuki) featuring a dynamic dragon design, crafted from shakudo with high-relief carving. The dragon's powerful form, with its scales, mane, and limbs, is skillfully rendered within the elongated space. It dates to the Edo period and is unsigned, showcasing the rich black luster of shakudo without relying on elaborate gold embellishments.
