Description
19th century solid gold Japanese sword menuki in a form of running Inari fox holding a rice stalk in its mouth, and with a key to a store room under its hind legs. Foxes in their benevolent manifestation are considered to be the messengers of Inari, god of Japanese mythology primarily known as the protector of rice cultivation. Superbl crisp work, wonderful face, rice detailing and fine hairwork, in excellent condition. The metal is heavy, was not tested, but I am absolutely sure that it is solid gold. Signed on the side - the signature appears to read ASAYUKI. Length 1.65 inches, weight 7.2 grams
