striking pair of 19th century shachikoko rood ornaments circa 1880.
these appear to be ‘shachikoko’ sea monsters still retaining their bold colours, showing the head of a dragon with the body of a carp.
both are made from 2 sections and would have been originally nailed to the roof.
because of the material used and their purpose there are losses and repairs.
