Anvil-forged from DREADNOUGHT&CROW's hand-poured shibuichi [四分一], crushed under the might of a twenty-ton hydraulic press in order to add strength and add a pleasing convexity, then perched upon a twistforged brass bail, this amulet lives well.
Shibuichi has been chosen for its ability to patinate (enflower, emerge) beautifully as time goes on, in ways that will be particular to the wearer's environment and body chemistry.
The reverse is marked and dated.
