This is a very old iron tsuba. It features a design of the Go-san-no-kiri (Paulownia) crest. The Go-san-no-kiri and vines are depicted with fine gold inlay, which is exquisite. The iron ground is well-forged and has a very good patina from age. I believe this is an item from a very old era. 7.3 cm × 6.7 cm × 5.2 mm
