This one is a gem. A juji mokko gata tsuba consisting of three plates held together by a fukurin. The outer plates are shakudo, the middle plate is yamagane. Rim is made of shakudo, too. The motif is identical on both sides - vertical nanako with crab harvest and two paulownia ka-mon (kiri-mon). 

 

This tsuba is from the Momoyama period. A stark difference between this guard and the flimsy, thin foil  sanmai products of the Edo period.

 

measurements:

7.8x7.1x0.5cm

 

$550 incl shipping to US and EU
