$299.00
This finely crafted antique Japanese tsuba (sword guard) is a beautiful example of traditional metalwork, featuring an elegant design of cherry blossoms and birds in flight. Made of brass, the guard is skillfully cast and engraved with a serene natural scene: delicate sakura blossoms bloom along textured branches while two birds soar above, symbolizing renewal, harmony, and the fleeting beauty of life. Accents in silver-toned relief enhance the blossoms and birds, offering a striking contrast against the warm, aged brass patina. The central nakago-ana and flanking hitsu-ana openings remain intact, maintaining the functional purpose of the tsuba while showcasing its artistic value. Signed with Japanese characters near the center, this tsuba reflects the refined aesthetic and symbolism characteristic of Edo-period craftsmanship. A collectible piece for enthusiasts of samurai culture, it embodies both artistic grace and martial heritage.
