Description
A Japanese iron tsuba, crafted from dark patinated metal. The circular guard features intricate openwork (sukashi) centered around a large, elongated teardrop-shaped nakago-ana, which contains a small, light-colored plug, likely of brass or wood, at its upper point. The surrounding openwork pattern incorporates symmetrical, stylized organic or cloud-like motifs accented by small circular perforations. The rim is textured, suggesting a coiled or roped design. No discernible text or markings are visible.
Condition report:
