Sword Guard (Tsuba)

Oval-shaped sword guard with a textured dark-gray surface, featuring three large cut-out sections; a central elongated section flanked by two curved sections on either side. The guard has two small gold-colored metal inlays, one at the top and one at the bottom; each inlay depicts a face with radiating lines. A small, brown metal piece with a T-shaped projection is attached in the center.
