Round, dark brown metal object with a central teardrop-shaped hole and four rounded protrusions at the top and bottom. The object has a wavy edge and four rounded openings, two on each side, resembling a flower or a four-petaled shape. The surface is textured with visible wear and tear. Two small circles are on either side, each containing a symbol. The background is dark gray to black, transitioning from light to dark. This is a Sword Guard, also known as Tsuba, by an unknown artist.
