Japanese Silk Embroidery Picture of Samurai and similar items

Japanese Silk Embroidery Gold of Samurai Helmet There is really little I can authoritatively tell you about the date and origin of this beautifully embroidered picture. Unfortunately, oriental art and such is not my area of expertise. That being said, I will rely on my guests to affirm or correct me on this item. I do believe it s Japanese and that it is signed. The painting is unmated and still in its original packaging; made of heavy gold threads, it's a nice composition that will add to an oriental decor. I will edit this listing shortly to include the size. ----------------------------------------------------- Many on-line booksellers describe their books using a grading system which, despite best efforts and intent, is often subjective and disappointing.
