Hi! I ended up finding your page based off your post of magatama beads! I was wondering if you could tell me what this pendant shape is? It's from the new show Blue Eye Samurai on netflix. Its based in 17th century Japan. The pendant decorates the handle of the main characters sword. It looks like a magatama but isn't quite the right shape? Is it a magatama or somethings else?
Hi, Blue Eye Samurai is on my list but I haven't found time to watch it yet!
As for your screenshot, I do think it is supposed to be a stylized magatama bead! As you saw in this past post, magatama can come in many shapes and sizes. This one has a pronounced "claw" tip + is strung on a himo (cord) wrapped around what look like same (shark or ray shagreen) covered tsuka (katana handle). It's a very cool detail!
