  • Culture: Asian

  • All returns accepted: Returns Accepted
  • Condition: This Piece would be a Powerful Addition to Any Man-Cave. Comprised of 4 Major Parts, along with the Requisite (Worn, but Functional) Nuts & Bolts, it is Practically Indestructible. There's the Cast Iron Hachi, or Dome; 2 Cast Iron Wing like Projections, or Fukigaeshi; and, Finally, the Solid Brass Crest. It Appears as Though, Once Upon a Long Time Ago, it May have been Painted. On the Backside of the Fukigaeshi there is Dark Brown Shading (See Illustration ) which I Suspect may have Begun Life as Crimson Red. (Personally, We Prefer it As is.) Please consider the illustrations.
