Sword Guard (Tsuba)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Sword Guard (Tsuba) is circular and made of dark brown metal. The metal has a textured surface with visible signs of aging and wear. The guard has a central oval-shaped hole with a teardrop-shaped cutout in the middle. The outer edge of the guard has a leaf-like design carved into it. The leaves are curved and pointed, with visible veins carved into their surface. The guard has bronze inlays, likely depicting berries, adding a touch of contrast to the dark metal. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
