Knife Handle (Kozuka)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black rectangular case with a textured surface. The case is lying flat and contains several small gold-colored metal objects. The objects appear to be parts of a knife handle, specifically a Kozuka. There are five parts: a long thin piece with a T-shaped end on the left; a small flat piece with a hole on the right side; a curved piece; a long thin piece with a pointed end; and a small hook-shaped piece on the right. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The title of the image is "Knife Handle (Kozuka)" and the artist is not specified.
