Q224.  Iron tsuba with gold, silver, & shakudo inlay.  7 x 7.5 x .3 cm at the rim (thicker at seppa dai).  The nakago hitsu-ana is .6 x 2.7 cm.  Sometime ago I heard the Japanese fable about someone releasing a magic horse from a small bottle.  I, of course, no longer remember it but whatever it is, this is it.  The detail in the linay is quite amazing; the closer I look the more I see.  The tsuba is signed in gold and with a seal on the backside; I haven’t been able to read it.  Excellent condition.  A bargain at $250.
