These "Sword-Grip Ornaments (Menuki)" were made by the Japanese artist Gotō Mitsumori (Keijō) between 1725 and 1800, a time when the artist was still active. They are small decorative elements attached to the hilt of a Japanese sword, and these menuki are intricately crafted from metal with gold accents, showcasing a pair of intertwined snakes with a stylized flower design. They are now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection in New York, where art lovers can appreciate their craftsmanship and intricate details.
