Sword Guard (Tsuba) with Plovers in Waves

The image shows a sword guard with a dark gray and black patina. The guard is oval-shaped with a central oval opening and two smaller openings on either side. The top of the guard features three raised oval shapes, each containing a relief of a bird with a long neck and head turned backwards, resembling plovers. The bottom of the guard has raised wavy lines, suggesting ocean waves. The background of the image transitions from black at the top to dark gray at the bottom. The sword guard appears to be made of metal, likely steel or iron.
