A large nineteenth century tsuba of a pastoral scene in takazogan and intaglio. Some takazogan copper highlights, of a man and a flowering tree. 8.53 cm x 7.9 cm x 3.9 mm at the mimi. A very nice design, not made from sand iron. This is a late good honest tsuba best suited for the beginning collector, display sword, or for mounting on an iaito. The tsuba appears to have a coat of varnish on it, which is easily removed with paint remover.
