Sword Guard (Tsuba)

The sword guard, or tsuba, by an unknown artist, is a circular metal piece with a dark brown color and visible rust. It features a central oval-shaped hole and a smaller, rounded rectangular cutout to the left. The guard has a small, round copper-colored circle near the top right edge. Various etched designs adorn the surface, including a curved line resembling a branch or vine on the right side and three short, curved lines near the top. Additionally, there are several small, scattered gold dots along the bottom edge. The background of the image is plain white.
