Kashira with Two Figures
(Japanese Military Armor)
Two standing figures are depicted on the kashira. The one in front holds a stick of some kind and has beads around his neck. The rear figure is blowing on a long horn. He is probably intended to be a foreigner from a mythical country. This is part of a set with Walters 51.1040.
