This listing is for a temple ornament made around 40 years ago.  It is made of sheet metal and depicts Ginkakuji Temple in Kyoto.  Ginkakuji is also known as the Silver Pavilion, and is the companion of Kinkakuji, the larger and more popular Golden Pavilion.  Kinkakuji is plated with gold, but Ginkakuji remains un-plated.  Despite its natural wood finish it still carries the name of the Silver Pavilion.  The ornament in this listing depicts an all-silver Ginkakuji complete with its bell-shaped windows.  Ginkakuji’s phoenix is perched on top, keeping watch over the temple, and there are some small silver bells hanging under the eaves.  This is a wonderful display piece and would make a special decoration item during New Year.

Condition

Overall it’s in pretty good condition aside from the following:  There’s some minor surface rust, the phoenix on top is loose and it has bent tail feathers, and the surface is tarnished in places.
