Sword Guard (Tsuba)

Dark grey circular metal object with a textured surface. Two oval-shaped cutouts are present, one on the left side and a larger, vertically-oriented one in the center. The bottom half features an embossed design of three herons standing on a wavy line, possibly representing water, with plants extending from the right side. The herons and some details on the plants are made of a lighter-colored metal. The background of the image is plain and light grey. Title: Sword Guard (Tsuba) by Ichinomiya Nagatsune.
