The image depicts a rusty, oval-shaped metal object with a central hole. The object is primarily brown and orange with dark brown and black areas. It appears to be made of metal, possibly iron or steel, and has a rough texture. The central hole is roughly oval in shape and is empty. The object is centered in the image against a plain gray background. The object is a sword guard, specifically a tsuba, from an unknown artist.
