Sword Guard (Tsuba)

Dark brown circular sword guard with a dragon design. The dragon's body curves around the bottom right and top of the guard. The dragon has a long body with scales, and its head is at the top. It appears to be holding something in its mouth. The guard has a dark brown patina. There are two oval holes on either side of a central triangular hole. A small gold stamp is on the bottom left. The background of the image is light gray. Sword Guard (Tsuba) by Echizen Kanetane.
