Hello

I wonder what god or demon it is on this Tsuba? It is not signed but it is a Sukashi Tsuba in iron.

Can it be Fūjin (風神), or Futen, who is the Japanese god of the wind and one of the oldest Shinto gods, or god of war Hachiman
(also called Yahata no kami)? or is it a Shishi dog?

Height: 8.38 cm x 8.32 cm (3.29 inches x 3.27 inches)
Rim thickness: 0.44 cm (0.133 inches)
Weight: 147 grams
