The image shows a circular, dark brown metal object with a rough texture and a central elongated hole. The object, known as Sword Guard (Tsuba), has a dark brown color with visible rust and pitting on its surface. The circular object has an uneven edge. A long, narrow, pointed hole is cut vertically through the center of the object. Two smaller circular holes are positioned near the bottom-left edge of the object. The background of the image is black, gradually transitioning to dark gray towards the bottom.
