Black-Gold Carved Katana
Black-Gold Carved Katana
The Black-Gold Carved Katana is defined by its carved lacquer saya, where a black-and-gold pattern gives the mount a worked surface. The clay-tempered patterned blade provides a quieter counterweight beneath it.
Copper fittings continue the warm metallic note at the guard and handle. The saya treatment is the reliable point of distinction; the pattern is described as visible decoration rather than assigned an unconfirmed cultural subject.
