Pair of Sword-Grip Ornaments (Menuki)
Copper-colored metal ornaments in the shape of crustaceans. Two ornaments are shown. Each has a long, thin, tapering protrusion extending from the front. The body of each ornament has a rounded section at the rear and a more jagged section at the front. There are ridges and bumps along the body, and two small, round eyes. The ornaments are symmetrical but not identical, with some differences in detail and texture. They are on a light gray background. The ornaments are titled "Pair of Sword-Grip Ornaments (Menuki)" by an unknown artist.
