Silver mounted shin-shinto daisho

A late 18th-19th century silver mounted shin-shinto daisho. I’ve posted the detail of the tsuba back in Februari. I really love the saya of both pieces here. It looks like hills (katana) and waves (wakizashi). These daisho was sold for a little more than €30.000 – $41.000
