Sword Guard (Tsuba) with Leaves

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a circular metal object with a dark brown color and a textured surface. The object has a large central hole with a teardrop shape and is surrounded by a pattern of leaves cut out of the metal. The leaves are arranged in a circular pattern around the central hole. The background of the image features a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The object appears to be a sword guard, also known as a tsuba, created by an unknown artist, titled "Sword Guard (Tsuba) with Leaves".
