Antique Japanese Hair Ornament, Large Silver Kanzashi
Antique Japanese hair ornaments, Gin(Silver) Kanzashi with bira-bira danglings. This is an unusually large and heavy Kanzashi probably worn by Geisha. It was made for a very special occasion when a particularly elaborate hair style was needed. The ornaments are all made with silver and the bodies are plated on mixed metals. 16 petals chrysanthemum heads. This one is definitely for Kanzashi collector. Shorter one is tarnished more than the other

Long Kanzashi is 13" x 6". Short Kanzashi is 11 3/4" x 6". The size of box is 15 1/2" x 10 3/4" x 6" deep.
