Japanese samurai helmet JINGASA with snake decoration on
top
Edo period of Japanese history was a peaceful, and JINGASA
became more popular then more heavy KABUTO helmet. The function
of the JINGASA was still the same as for KABUTO, but with
less accent on protection against arrow or sword, but from
rain and wind, and to showing the Samurai's social status.
It could be wear for hunting, riding or for police duty.
This is unique black lacquered JINGASA of late Edo period
with the snake who was coiled up on the JINGASA top. There
is a metal hook on the front of JINGASA for decoration or
mon (samurai clan crest), which is lost. The interior of
JINGASA is red lacquered with black on top. Very rare and
highly collectible item of Samurai Art.
Excellent condition
SOLD, THANK YOU |
