Momoyama Period (ca. 1600) The elaborate and detailed design of cloves, the use of refined iron with abundant brass inlay, contribute to the strong impact of this masterpiece. There seems to be two different colors of brass inlay used. Fine tekkotsu on the rim. The representation seen here of cloves (one of the objects of the Takaramono, associated with the Gods of Luck), define Sweetness and Health. Only missing inlay at 8 o'clock position (see at right). |
