AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This is a large and highly detailed Japanese gilt metal model of a three-story pagoda (Sanju-no-to), inspired by Yakushiji Temple (Nara, Japan), a site associated with National Treasures.
The piece represents a traditional multi-tiered pagoda, crafted with intricate detailing throughout. Each roof layer and decorative element is carefully designed, reflecting classical Japanese Buddhist temple architecture.
The gold-tone finish gives the object a striking and luxurious appearance, making it a strong decorative statement piece.
With its substantial size and weight (over 3 kg), this is a solid and well-made object, far from a lightweight souvenir, and suitable for collectors or interior display.
Condition:
Overall in good condition with visible signs of age and use.
There are minor scratches and slight wear to the gilt finish, including small areas of plating loss.
Additionally, one screw is missing on the underside base.
Please carefully check all photos for details.
