Hello dear members,

i need your help with this ebisu that unfortunately was glued on the dó of a armor i bought recently.

 

i dont think it was made for the armor.

could you guys please share your opinions with me for what purpose this was made and if it is modern or a older piece?

It is about 7cm high.

The material on the inside of the piece is pitch which allows the piece to be chased and chiseled from the outside. The piece may be die-struck but it does have hand work on the front.
