Constructed primarily from black lacquered metal plates assembled with blue and green cord, with blue/floral pattern backing material, and areas of "tatami" plate and chain protection at the elbows and upper arms and hexagonal plates around the neck. A swiveling upper bracket and fixed lower bracket for a sashimono banner are present on the back, with traditional hanging guards for the shoulders and thighs. The helmet is constructed from 18 plates in the crown, 9 in the neck protector and a two-piece visor, fitted with an ornament of a demon head featuring prominent stag horns and decorative mon patterns, and paired with a menpo-pattern lower faceguard (sans nose/upper lip protector) The set is assembled on a hardwood display frame, positioned atop (but not mounted to) a hardwood box. The consignor attributes the set to 1850-1875.

Very good overall, showing mild wear and tear overall, with cracking and flaking of the enamel and areas of fading/discoloration on the other materials.
