Momoyama/early Edo Ono Tsuba

Hey all, time to move this one along.

 

A wonderful and imposing guard depsite its small size. Typical for the "school" at 6.6 x 6.5cm, .6 at the seppa dai, gently tapering to .5 at the rim.

 

Motif is of course a mitsudomoe that is beautifully accented by some downright brutal tekkotsu throughout. Textbook cloudy iron with a patina and color to die for that glows in the sun. The glassy yakite finish presents an interesting dynamic, as this piece is very rough visually, it's silky smooth to the touch, much like the old ceramic wares that likely inspired it.

 

Price is $OLD shipped to the USA, will quote international buyers based on location. Please PM me with any questions or interest.

 

Thanks for looking!
