Sword Guard (Tsuba)

Dark brown metal guard, circular with a rough texture and visible signs of wear. Two elongated oval holes, one on the left and one on the right, are cut out from the center. The left hole is wider and shorter than the right, which is narrower and taller with a semi-circular shape at the top. Three small gold inlays are positioned near the bottom edge, one on the left and two on the right. A small gold inlay is positioned at the top. The background is light gray.
