A cast copy of the Victoria & Albert Museum piece  Posted July 23, 2022   [Bottom of page 3]

found on ebay  https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/334888119734  described as Kinai - not even close!

PS. the $105 AU postage for such a small object added to the purchase price of $176 AU [which is with a $30 USD discount] seems a trifle expensive for an obviously cast piece, to me. :)

Not a menuki, methinks. What's the oval hole for? Some kind of fastening device?

Two pin holes for.... an obi-dome?

The original Japanese site will sometimes give more information. You can often learn something from the backs of these things.
