This antique tsuba is beautifully crafted from a copper-zinc-silver alloy, showcasing a delicate and refined patina that highlights its age and artistry. The round guard features an elegant motif of blossoming plum branches extending across both sides, their textured bark and finely rendered flowers captured in soft relief. The naturalistic flow of the branches evokes a peaceful, seasonal atmosphere, symbolizing renewal and perseverance. The central nakago-ana is flanked by two hitsu-ana with cloud-shaped cutouts, and Japanese characters are inscribed vertically on the seppa-dai, likely indicating the artist or origin. The light silvery tone of the alloy, paired with subtle oxidation, gives this piece a graceful, timeworn charm. A fine example of functional craftsmanship fused with poetic aesthetics, ideal for collectors of traditional Japanese sword fittings.
