DescriptionAntique Japanese ebira (quiver) used to hold arrows along with a small bow. Rare example as it is completely inlaid on all the wooden surfaces. Hand forged iron hardmounts are intact.The extensive mother-of-pearl inlay suggests this piece was commissioned for a high-ranking samurai or for ceremonial display rather than purely utilitarian warfare. Such decoration reflects the Edo period shift toward status, pageantry, and visual distinction within the samurai class.Presented on a custom display stand, this ebira remains structurally intact and visually striking. It serves today as a rare sculptural artifact, embodying both the martial tradition and refined aesthetics of Edo-period Japan.Age: Edo period 1603 – 1868Dimensions: 33″ x 9 1/2″
