Comment | A bronze ornament that was brought over from the continental zone of Northeastern Asia. It was introduced during the Late Okhotsk period, from the Mohe culture, which ranged around the Amur/Heilongjiang and the Songhua River basins. Only seven such ornaments have been found in Hokkaido, so they are considered objects of great prestige. |
