Sword Guard (Tsuba)
The Tsuba by an unknown artist is a circular sword guard made of dark brown metal with a textured surface. The guard features three holes: a large, teardrop-shaped hole in the center; a smaller, rounded rectangular hole to the left; and a smaller, irregularly shaped hole to the right. The guard has a small circular indentation at the top. There are gold inlays on the right side and top, forming a design resembling a plant or leaves. The background of the image is plain white.
