A fine russet iron kabuto. 17th century
72 plates hoshi bachi, signed Munetsugu, probably Myōchin Munetsugu, iron mabesashi and fukigaeshi both with fukurin,katabami mon on the fukigaeshi, six-layer tehen no kanamono, shikoro with five layers of iron plates and kiritsuke kozane,agemaki no kan and agemaki with silk cord.
Since there were probably three generations of Munetsugu, we can only assume that this kabuto was made approximately in the first half of the Edo period. The kanbuto is in excellent, unrestored condition.
