Item No. 272 Silvered iron with gold and silver 7.12 cm x 6.91 cm x 0.41 cm
Subject of flowers and leaves by Sunagawa Masayoshi , 3rd generation Sunagawa school , early 19th cent.
Is there a gardener / botanist out there who can identify the subject of this piece ? As far as I can see it could be an Orchid or possibly an Iris or a Lily.
There is a lot of dirt obscuring detail on this – I think a good soaking in a detergent solution is called for , see if any of the grime will lift.
