CONDITION: It's nearly 100 years old and is in good condition for it's age with minimal wear and tear. A very few of the feathers look a little ratty. One arrow is missing one of three feathers. They appear to be made of bamboo and may be slightly warped or it may be natural.
The stand has light dents, scratches and one spot on top where a knot has cracked the lacquer. The wood is separating at some of the seams, as often happens with age, and the lacquer is cracked or is chipping (nothing major).

Large display item that can be used with a Samurai doll, helmet, etc.
