These "Sword-Grip Ornaments (Menuki)" were created between 1800-1850 by the renowned Japanese metalworker Gotō Mitsuyoshi. The menuki, a pair of silver and gold roosters, are meant to be attached to a Japanese sword. They are intricately crafted with detailed feathers and a distinctive red comb, demonstrating the artist's exceptional skill in metalwork. The menuki are a testament to the rich tradition of Japanese sword ornamentation, which was an integral part of samurai culture.
