Roaring Samurai Kabuto Half-Sleeve

Description

A detailed black-and-grey half-sleeve of a samurai wearing a kabuto and menpo mask, with a roaring tiger crest on the helmet. The realistic shading emphasizes armor plates, cords and facial expression. The samurai symbolizes honor and discipline; the tiger maedate represents strength, courage and protection. Strong contrast and linework give a dramatic, traditional-yet-realistic warrior piece suited for the upper arm and shoulder.
