Sword Guard (Tsuba)
The Sword Guard (Tsuba) is a circular metal object with a dark brown color and a weathered appearance. The object has a large central triangular hole and two oval holes on either side. The surface features a design of radiating lines and curved shapes resembling petals or leaves. The metal appears worn and scratched, with visible signs of aging. The background of the image is plain white. The object is symmetrical, with the design elements mirrored on either side of the central vertical axis. The edges of the circular object are smooth and rounded. The two oval holes are positioned on either side of the triangular hole, which is wider at the top than at the bottom. The design on the surface is raised, with the radiating lines and curved shapes protruding slightly from the surrounding metal.
