Pair of Sword-Grip Ornaments (Menuki)

Pair of Sword-Grip Ornaments (Menuki) by artist Two small, elongated, horizontal metal ornaments with a black and gold color scheme. Each ornament features a monkey-like creature with a large head, small body, and tail curled over its back. The creature's head faces to the right, with its left arm bent at the elbow and right arm extended downward. Its legs are tucked under its body, with the left leg bent at the knee. A gold-colored object resembling a leaf or wing protrudes from the creature's back. The ornaments have a textured, three-dimensional appearance and are set against a plain gray background.
