Sword-Hilt Collar and Pommel (Fuchigashira)

Two dark brown metal pieces, one oval and one rectangular. The oval piece has a textured surface with a raised design featuring a horse-like creature, possibly a dragon or a mythical animal, surrounded by various patterns and shapes. The rectangular piece features a raised design depicting a bird, likely a crane, holding a branch in its beak. Both pieces have gold accents and inlays, with intricate details and textures. The oval piece has two small gold lines along its edge, and the rectangular piece has a similar gold line along one edge. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The pieces appear to be a sword-hilt collar and pommel, titled "Sword-Hilt Collar and Pommel (Fuchigashira)" by an unknown artist.
