This is an elegant 19th-century Japanese sword mounting (koshirae) from the Edo Period, featuring a richly decorated black lacquer saya with dense, irregular gold flecks. The ensemble includes the tsuka, tsuba, fuchi, kashira, menuki, and lacquered saya, currently fitted with a shaped wooden display blade. The quality of the lacquer and fittings suggests a well-appointed koshirae originally intended for use with a genuine Japanese blade.
