Sword Guard (Tsuba)
Round, brass-colored metal object with a weathered appearance. A central vertical cutout resembles a keyhole. Two oval cutouts are on either side. A smaller circular cutout is above the keyhole. Cutouts create a rabbit on the right and an insect on the left. The background features etched grass and sky. Japanese characters are etched on the right side of the keyhole cutout.
