Sword Guard (Tsuba) with Dragon and Sacred Jewel

Cleveland Museum of Art

The object is a circular, dark brown metal guard with a dragon design. The guard has two oval-shaped holes in the center and a decorative border around the edge. The dragon is depicted in a curved, winding shape around the guard, with gold accents. The guard appears to be made of metal, possibly iron or steel, and has a weathered appearance with visible signs of aging. The background of the image is dark gray to black, which helps to highlight the details of the guard. The guard is titled "Sword Guard (Tsuba) with Dragon and Sacred Jewel" by an unknown artist.
