The samurai armor is entirely snake- themed, crafted from jade with precise detailing. The breastplate features overlapping plates resembling scales, centered by a raised cobra with flared hood, ruby inlaid eyes, and fangs at the neckline. The kabuto (helmet) is shaped like a cobra’s head with an engraved hood. Its crest displays a coiled golden snake, positioned above the brow with a silver forked tongue extending forward. The shoulder guards resemble coiled serpents, tails wrapping around the edges, and heads projecting outward. Arm guards display slithering snake engravings, while the gauntlets feature cobra heads on the knuckles, complete with fang- like extensions. The thigh guards and greaves are decorated with coiled snake engravings. The boots’ soles mimic a snake’s belly, leaving serpentine tracks. A carved jade serpent runs along the spine on the backplate, its head positioned at the neck. The black and green silk sash is embroidered with ouroboros designs in gold. The katana has a sheath engraved with intertwined snakes, a scale- patterned leather hilt, and a pommel shaped like a snake’s head with emerald eyes. Every component of the armor, including clasps and decorative beads, incorporates snake motifs, ensuring a cohesive and detailed design
