Sword Guard (Tsuba)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a dark brown, circular object with a textured surface. The object, a Sword Guard (Tsuba) by artist Sanemori, is made of metal and has a rough, uneven texture. The object is circular in shape and appears to be a dark brown color, possibly due to aging or oxidation, with visible brown patches. There are three holes in the center of the object. The holes are oval-shaped and are arranged vertically. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
