Decorative vase with ornate carvings, perfect for religious use. The top has a hexagonal shape, and the sides are adorned with elaborate carvings of lions, dragons, phoenixes, and other motifs. Made of karakane (bronze alloy), it has a unique brownish color (such as Sentoku color). The body has ears (handles) and a traditional, weighty design. This is a used item that has been stored. There is age-related deterioration due to the passage of time. Thank you for viewing.
