The two domed ceramic panels (4.7 cm) depict cranes flying beneath a moonlit sky above richly gilded blossoms, painted in fine polychrome enamels with raised gold moriage.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe silver mount retains its original clasp, and one bar was professionally re-soldered long ago. Under UV examination the ceramic surfaces show no repairs or retouching. This is a classic example of late-Meiji Kyoto artistry, where luxury accessories were produced with the precision of miniature paintings.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIdeal for collectors of Japanese art, Satsuma ware or refined decorative objects. It can still be worn as a buckle, but its true place is in a curated display.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMeasurements\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter (each disc): 4.7 cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition\u003cbr\u003e\nExcellent antique condition, with clean enamel surfaces and vivid colours.
