Offered for sale is this old Shinto hanging scroll, depicting three religious gods or spirits, with their costumes and several religious symbols.

Attributed to the Japanese historical Edo period, dating from 1603-1868.

Two of the spirits appear female, one male, all in fantastic costume.

Shinto has been a large part of the history and culture of Japan for at least 15 centuries, with its roots likely going back much further.

Symbols include what resembles a Buddhist Wheel of Law and other items.

Measures about 43 inches wide by 45 inches tall (110 by 115 cm).

Condition issues: This scroll shows signs of aging, and is ragged, faded, stained, worn, and creased,  with losses of material

Would look exceptional if nicely framed so as to show only the more intact central painted panel. This could be done with the scroll kept intact while its ends are rolled up behind or within a box frame, or just using the painted panel and margin (though it may be best to consult an expert on this). 

To be sold as-is.

Priority shipping at cost worldwide. Buyer pays any import fees.
