Sword-Grip Ornaments (Menuki)

Two black metal sword-grip ornaments, menuki, with intricate designs resembling dragons or other mythical creatures. The ornaments are placed on a light gray background, one above the other, and are made of a dark, possibly iron or steel, material with a shiny finish. They have a textured, three-dimensional appearance with many small details and protrusions. The top ornament is positioned with its left side slightly raised, while the bottom one is angled with its right side elevated. Each ornament has a small metal loop protruding from its underside.
