【Product details】a
Delve into the soul of the samurai with this exceptional pair of menpo (facial armors), a testament to the fearless spirit and artistry of Japan. These masks exude a striking presence, capturing the imagination with their fierce expression and finely crafted details.
Each mask bears the noble patina of history, their surfaces adorned with the characterful marks of time - some peeling and crackling that narrate tales of honor and valor. While one mask intriguingly lacks its traditional mustache and showcases meticulous repairs, whispering stories of battles endured. Both artifacts are missing their throat guards, enhancing their mystique, and feature nose covers that delicately move, evoking the dynamic past of these formidable protectors. These menpo masks are not merely antiques; they are the embodiment of the samurai's soul, ready to bring valor and history into the heart of your collection. Please examine the accompanying photographs to fully appreciate their well-preserved grandeur and embrace the opportunity to own a piece of the legendary samurai legacy.
Dimensions: approx. H 14cm W 16.7-17 cm D 11.5 cm
