This is a "bira-dome" used to secure the "bira-kanzashi" (hair ornaments) worn by maiko (apprentice geisha) during their performances, preventing them from falling out. It has been wiped with binzuke oil (hair wax). Please adjust the legs to fit as needed when using. Photos 7 and 8: These are photos from when it was in use, so they are enlarged and the image quality is poor. It is generally in good condition, but it has been handled by someone, so please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to used items. It will be wrapped in a waterproof vinyl bag for shipping.
