Round, dark brown metal object with a central oval hole and two smaller oval holes on either side. The central oval hole is elongated vertically and has a small gold-colored piece at the top and bottom. The object is decorated with a pattern of chrysanthemums, with flowers and leaves carved into the metal. The background is dark gray to black, transitioning from light to dark. The object appears to be a sword guard, known as a tsuba, made by an unknown artist.
