Lacquered Daisho Tsuba Papered to Higo School.

Hi.  A pare of tsuba I just acquired.    Recent Hozon Papers to late Edo Higo school.  Can anyone shed some light on the features that make them Higo?  Base metal is copper and of course Hosokawa Mon.   The fukerin looks like gilt rather than lacquer.  If you have a photo of a similar tsuba I would like to see it.    Searching the net doesn't show much.  Thanks in advance.  Mark

The geometry in general is Higo proportions, especially the rendering of the left n right ana.  Usually that screams Higo.

Hi Curran.  The shape of the ana was all I could see that looked Higo style.  I was wondering if they were also known

for lacquered tsuba.   Late Edo lacquered tsuba seem an oddity but I know they have lacquered tsuba since the start.   I can only think these must have been an ordered, gift type set.   Thanks for your input as always.
