Sword Guard (Tsuba)

The image depicts a circular, dark-colored metal object with a central oval-shaped hole. The object features two dragons, one on the top half and one on the bottom half, both intricately designed with scales and curved bodies. The dragons appear to be emerging from the circular border of the object, which has a textured pattern resembling scales or bricks. The background of the image is a plain light gray color. The object is a Sword Guard (Tsuba) by an unspecified artist.
