Great minds do think alike...

I too was attracted by the things that you have mentioned. The gold wash based especially, thats just pure vanilla.. although I am particularly drawn by the aura of strength and formidability of kerises that have prominent "fighting blade" qltys, ths is one of the few pcs that I own whch does not. It is probably meant as status wear for a minor member of the aristocracy or the gentry?

I am not into Ivory & molar fittings... but this one is in my opinion succintly atrractive without it being over the top... just luvly and just an inch well short of being saccharine sweet..
