Sword Guard (Tsuba)
Dark brown circular metal object with a weathered appearance. Two elongated oval cutouts are present, one vertically oriented and centered, the other horizontally oriented and positioned at the bottom. A third rounded rectangular cutout is on the left. A bird in flight is depicted on the top right, crafted from the same metal with gold accents on its eyes and feet. Gold inlays adorn the lower left and right sides, resembling flowers and stems. The background of the image is plain white. The object is a Sword Guard (Tsuba) by an unknown artist.
