Description: | Scabbard for a Japanese tachi (Military fighting sword). The scabbard is made from twin pieces of bamboo covered with lacquered brown ray-skin with a gilt copper throat, twin pear-shaped lockets fitted with rings, an ornamental lower ring and chape. One or more small screws secure each of the metal fittings. There are heart-shaped apertures in each locket and the chape is identical to the pommel. The scabbard is decorated with leaves and flowers executed on a stippled ground.
