Description from the seller
Item Description:
A fine antique Japanese iron tsuba for a katana or wakizashi, decorated with elegant bamboo and small bird motifs in gold and silver-toned inlay. The round guard features beautifully balanced openwork sukashi designs on both sides, creating a refined and traditional silhouette.
The dark iron surface shows an attractive aged patina, with visible signs of wear, oxidation, and small areas of surface rust consistent with age and use. The delicate bamboo decoration gives the piece a calm and graceful character, symbolising resilience and elegance in Japanese art.
This tsuba is a charming example of Japanese sword fitting craftsmanship and would make an excellent addition to a collection of samurai antiques, Japanese metalwork, or decorative art.
