Japanese Neko-te / Tekagi-shuko Claws , Tiger hands late 19th century, early 20th century

Marcel van Hulst

Selected by Marcel van Hulst

Pair of vintage Japanese Neko-te / Tekagi - Shuko (Cat or Tiger) hands. The name given to various constructions made in or on the hand, with sharp blades or pins sticking out. Some of these original Neko-te, which are shaped as metal gloves, stand up from the metal plate on the back of the hand. They are used as weapons and inflict minor injuries when required, while the long claw-shaped tips of the fingers were used to penetrate arteries and other vital areas, and cause scratches on the exposed skin. Late 19th early 20th century
