Which Of Your Tsubas Best Embodies The Wabi-Sabi Aesthetic?

I put a tsuba some weeks ago in this thread, put it again with a good picture.
The size is about 85x3,5mm.
Some metal bridges are broken.
On two circles on bottom, bridge was complete on seller picture, but was made partially from pure rust in real, was in the parcel, but not on tsuba.
Some original patina is remaining, mostly half on one side, and 1/4 of the rim, but what is strange is 2 holes on each side have different on the edge side, like used with chain, or something else, metal part was attached.
Is it a missing sword accessory, an earlier use, then turned into a tsuba, or a later use?
I bought this tsuba because the weathering is definitely authentic, unlike so many tosho-katsuchi fakes we see these days, and it has no hitsu ana i (try to) collect tsuba without hitsu ana and these are crazy hard to find...
