[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 414698, member: 2844"]I did think it could be a menuki design, but then thought no. Don't ask why.:banghead: After the ban on wearing katanas (Samurai swords), the menuki makers turned to making jewellery instead, mostly with shakudo inlay. But this is a different style of jewellery. Maybe an old menuki mounted on a silver back? Possibly done in the West? The position of a menuki on a katana hilt: [IMG]https://cdn.reliks.com/products/6192/1200x0/koi-katana-menuki.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
