Item details

Dragon Motif Tsuba (Sword Fitting) in Brass Color Feng Shui Antique Talisman Ancient Art

This is a tsuba (sword fitting) carved with a dragon motif. The surface is extensively engraved with a winding, coiling dragon, and the reverse side is similarly adorned with dragon decorations. A central stem hole is present, with openings on the left and right that appear to be for a kogai and kozuka. The surface bears engravings resembling a signature. The overall shape is that of a quince, sized to fit comfortably in the palm. The material exhibits a brass color. Visible are the color changes and detailed wear due to age. The surface has fine scratches, color variations, and a patina developed over time.
