The image shows a sword guard, or tsuba, with a rough, dark brown, rusted surface. The tsuba has an oval-shaped hole in the center; the top end comes to a point. The surface is pockmarked with tiny holes and pits. Small flecks of orange rust are scattered across the surface. The background is a plain gray color. The tsuba is by an artist unknown.
