Broken Parasol

This is an ANTIQUE Japanese parasol that was most likely used for traditional dancing. Unfortunately, this piece is quite broken hence the low price. The handle of this parasol has broken off and one piece of the handle is missing - still this can likely be repaired with some wood glue and a dowel. The protective cap at the top of the parasol also needs to be reattached. While this parasol cannot be used for much as is, I figured someone might be able to repurpose it for a cosplay or home decor. It can also be used as a pattern for someone interested in learning how these parasols can be made. This parasol also comes with a cloth bag.

 

As for other damages, there is some slight discolouration on the patterned portion of the umbrella that is caused by clear tape that was applied to the underside of the parasol. This discolouration is more apparent on the under side. There is also some writting on the bottom handle of the parasol that likely indicates which dancer this piece belonged to.
