Iron Tsuba with Openwork Chrysanthemum Design, Unsigned, Sword Fitting
This is a sword fitting for a Japanese sword, an ancient iron "openwork tsuba." No accessories are included, only the main body is for sale. The perimeter features an elegant wavy "chrysanthemum-shaped" design, executed with exquisite openwork craftsmanship. On both sides of the central stem hole (nakago-ana), traces of "sekigane" (copper adjustment marks) remain, which were made at the time to fit the sword practically.
Dimensions (actual measurements): Diameter approximately 7.0 cm x 6.5 cm, seppa-dai (central flat part) thickness approximately 5 mm, weight approximately 60 g. Condition: Due to its age, there is rust throughout, along with the antique's characteristic old flavor (iron taste). No warping or significant damage observed.
