Q856. Iron tsuba. 8.5 x 9 x .4 cm at the slightly raised rim. The nakago hitsu-ana is .7 x 2.8 cm. Birds in gold and shakudo glide in for a landing under a tree covered mountain; water and reeds await below. The crescent moon just peeks above the tree tops. A few more reeds and a bit of silver ten zogan are found on the back side. There is a tsuchime (hammered surface) on both sides. I find this to be a very pleasant design well executed; you should be pleased. $375.
