Sword Guard (Tsuba) with Rabbit and Waves

Cleveland Museum of Art

A Japanese sword guard that is round with a wavy lower edge. Three central openings: one long and thin in the centre; one oval on the left; and one oval on the right. The guard features a relief design of a rabbit on the upper right, and a wavy line pattern on the lower edge. The guard appears to be made from a dark metal with a textured surface. The background is dark at the top and fades to light gray at the bottom.
