ITEM DESCRIPTION:

Comes with certificate of supein Nihonto.


Exceptional quality and very personal kabuto from the middle of the Edo period, in excellent condition. A precious historical piece worthy of any museum. The articulated maedate is a piece that in itself is very expensive to manufacture so no doubt belonged to some wealthy samurai or daimyo or feudal lord who could afford a helmet of these characteristics. Favored helmet of the middle Edo period kawari style. This style came into fashion during the sengoku period and later and was characterized by strange looking helmets or atypical decorations. These helmets were highly prized among the daimyos or high-ranking samurai who were the only ones who could afford such personalized work and in most cases were kept for centuries in the family from generation to generation. This one is a great example and will look spectacular in any room where it is placed. Its large and rare separate wave-shaped maedate, lacquered with red Japanese lacquer on the front accentuates the unusual shape of the hull. It is in practically immaculate condition given its age and has many rare elements that make this piece a great piece of samurai art. Possibly the maedate has been copied and replaced the original at some point in the 20th century, as is usual with this type of material.

All bids are binding, if you are not interested don't let other bidders miss the opportunity. Winning the auction and not paying for the item blocks you from bidding on catawiki on any auction forever, keep this in mind before bidding.
