Two long, thin, ornate metal pieces, likely made of bronze or brass, with a dark patina. The pieces are identical and have a similar design. They are placed horizontally, one above the other, on a light blue-grey background. Each piece has a rounded end on the left, a central section with a gold-colored ball and a flower or bow motif, and a curled vine-like design to the right. The ends of the pieces feature curved pointed shapes resembling leaves or petals. The metalwork is intricate, with a mix of smooth and textured surfaces. The overall appearance suggests that these are decorative elements, possibly from a sword or other object, created by Gotō Mitsumori (Keijō).
