Another version of arukamanai with intricate and deep carving. One of oldest type arukamanai in our collections. Believed used in late 19th century. Interesting piece, along with iron wheels with floral design carving. According some sources this arukamanai was probably used as a wedding gift those days. If we notice, the sharp edge of this arukamanai can be fold when we never use. Convenient and safe.
