Stained Glass Warrior Hanging Ornament, Japan
Themed on the samurai kabuto helmet and a child warrior, this piece is made of leaded colored glass. The glass pieces vary in translucency and texture, with blue, gold and red layered together; under natural light or lamplight they produce shifting sheen and shadow, creating a rich Japanese festive mood. The form is upright and the lines crisp; hung in an entryway or by a window, it immediately becomes a focal point.
