Type: Tsuba Material: Iron with brass inlay Signature: Unsigned Mass: 87.5 g
A delicate iron tsuba depicting large flower petals unfurling along the rim, their shapes softly curling inward toward the center. The carving is subtle and organic, giving the impression of wind-ruffled petals across a field. Small dots of brass inlay punctuate the petal edges, providing a restrained sparkle that animates the design without overpowering its quiet symmetry.
The iron plate is thin and well-forged, with a smooth, dark brown patina showing traces of oxidation consistent with age.
