Pair of Sword-Grip Ornaments (Menuki)

Two long, thin, gold-colored ornaments with a repeating pattern of animal-like creatures. The ornaments are placed side by side, one above the other, on a gray background. Each ornament features a series of small, intricately designed creatures that resemble lions or dragons with bulging eyes and open mouths. The creatures have detailed features including ears, noses, and teeth. They are positioned in various orientations, some facing left, some right, and some appearing to jump or move. The creatures have four legs and tails. The ornaments are shiny and reflective, suggesting they are made of metal, likely gold. The background is a plain gray color. The overall arrangement suggests these are decorative pieces, specifically sword-grip ornaments, also known as menuki.
