This is a mumei (unsigned) kogai featuring a crane and turtle motif, symbols of longevity. Crafted in the late Edo period, it is made of shakudo with nanako ground and high-relief iroe (colored metal inlay) in gold and silver. The design stands out beautifully against the jet-black shakudo surface.
