Description:

Created by an unknown craftsman, the overall construction of the suit follows patterns and trends seen in 17th century Japanese armor, though on a much smaller scale and with lacquered cardstock used as the main material for the armor plates. Primary colors on the plates are gold, red and black, with printed floral patterns on the cuirass, gold and silver painted accents with sculpted floral/leaf designs, and a ribbed helmet with a decorative dragon crest. With a black lacquer finished cedar case.

Rating Definition:

Fair, showing mild wear and tear overall. The finish of the case shows flaking around the feet and edges, but appears structurally solid.
