Sword Guard (Tsuba)

The image shows a rusted metal object. The object is circular and made of dark brown metal with a textured surface. The object has a long, narrow, vertical cutout in the center and a smaller kidney-shaped cutout below it. The top of the object has a half-moon shaped gold inlay and two horizontal lines on either side. The bottom of the object has small gold dots scattered around the kidney-shaped cutout. The background of the image is light gray. The object appears to be a Sword Guard (Tsuba) by an unknown artist.
