Hi , Could someone please help me with these plates , they are pressed soft metal and I presume were exported from Japan ca1890-1900 ?
There are a number of symbols I would imagine have a message , as a wild uneducated guess could these have been produced as wedding gifts , perhaps capturing a traditional historic scene , or simply a fashionable Oriental item for the period within Europe ?
Imari type flowers , Samurai Warriors with bow and arrow and swords , the one on horseback has a small dragon's head upon his headress , a pentagram star symbol within a circle , fans , dragons perhaps water dragons ?? , ivy and other climbing flora .
Thanks in advance , Dave.
