Higo FujisanTsuba
LS025
A very attractive later large Higo tsuba, red copper with a silver crested Mount Fuji, and suyari (literally, straight spear - stylized Japanese clouds), shakudo mimi. My feeling that the oxidation around the edge, is an intentional addition,not a product of age. As per Robert Haynes, 19th century or later. 8.16 cm x 7.75 cm x 4 mm NOTE: in the left picture, this a dog hair, not a scratch. $1,100
