Sword Guard (Tsuba) with Plovers in Waves

The image shows a bronze tsuba with a wavy edge and a central oval-shaped hole. The tsuba has a dark brown patina with gold-colored accents. The central hole is shaped like a teardrop with the pointed end facing down. There are two oval-shaped cutouts on either side of the central hole; the one on the left is empty, while the one on the right is not present. The surface features a wave design on the right side and six small birds on the top left. The background of the image is dark gray. The tsuba appears to be a Japanese sword guard, likely made of metal, featuring a design with plovers in waves.
