This is supreme high-ranking Buddhism decorations.
Keman is one of Buddhism decorations. Generally, monk decorated living flowers on an altar. The times passed, as a result of seeking immortality, it was changed from living flowers to metal decorations. In Japan, this turning point appeared around the funeral of Emperor Shomu (I mean, it was 8th century).
This Keman has Kamon (Japanese family crest or temple crest) which is called Maru-ni-Kashiwa (oak in the circle). I guess that it was old temple possession. This Keman is almost perfect condition.
Because of old item, it have some damages and stains (as following pictures). Please recognise it.

This design is HannyaShingyo. It's the most popular Buddhism sutra.
This sutra is expressing essence of Buddhism with around 300 letters. It is near philosophy, it is not spell.
The main theme is
(Shiki-Soku-Ze-Kuu, Kuu-Soku-Ze-Shiki).
Heart Sutra says:
"You don't have 'yourself'. Actual existences are composed of a series of perceptions for example body, sense, imagination, association and thinking. All factors aren't yours, and also doesn't belong to you. But 'yourself' does not exist without these factors. That's why you aren't here eventually. In addition, these factors are also an illusion, unsubstantial one. By this wisdom, we can get out all sufferings and misfortunes."
