Antique Armour and Fittings
An 18th century jingasa of the bajo-gasa or riding cap type. Bajo-gasa were typically very high quality, because it was exceptional and expensive to be able to afford a horse.
The jingasa is covered in black lacquer and adorned with two golden cranes, floral designs and a large mon (family/clan crest) on the front. The interior features red lacquer with gold specks, and seven metal rings for secure fastening. There are multiple cracks in the lacquer and some pieces have chipped off (mostly around the brim and one part on the top), but it is otherwise in remarkable condition considering its age and function. Dimensions are approx. 14 inches (355.6 mm) x 12 inches (304.8 mm) x 5 inches (127.00 mm) high.£350.00
