content: From card: "Complete saddle with flanchards, stirrups, other trappings and stand/exhibit case. The latter item is not accessioned. Saddle tree is lacquered in brown and gold featuring a centrally placed gold family crest (mon - encircled branch) with surrounding gold birds-in-flight. A single black seal (signature) is present on the underside. The flanchards are painted red and gold and depict a wave decoration. The stirrups are inlaid with pickeled silver and signed, "Made by Noritsugu." The ensemble probably dates from the Shinto (Tokugawa) period, 1600—1868. Red silk cord trappings are somewhat deteriorated. Stand may be of Japanese construction."
