| A pair of Japanese lacquered iron abumi (stirrups) decorated with fine gold and nashiji (pear skin) lacquer on a roiro ground. The Tokugawa family crest (three aoi leaves on a circle) is on a scrolling leaf background; the interior is in a deep red lacquer. This abumi was constructed with a wooden floor within an iron framework (using wood made it lighter and better for battles). Edo period, probably from 17th-18th century. Approx. 9" high, 5 1/4" wide and 11" long. | |||||||||||||||
