Lot 56:
Fine Quality MeiJi era Japanese Wakizashi Sword in Profusely Carved Bone Mounts. Beautiful large example of fine Japanese carving art implemented on some of the presentation weapons of the mid to late 1800s, this fine specimen also bearing multiple mother of pearl elements and signed by the artist at the lower end of the saya. Mounted with an elegant but strong deeply curved blade which surprisingly shows active Hamon tamper-line as it is rarely met on most similar examples. This Gorgeous sword comes in its embroidered fabric storage case which shows significant age wear.Total Length in Scabbard – 30 1/2" Blade Length (along the spine, from Habaki notch to the tip) – 17 3/4"
