T412. Very Elaborate Iron Wangata Tsuba in Presentation Box
$850.00
T412. Iron wangata tsuba with gold nunome dragons. 9.1 x 9.1 cm. The seppa-dai is .4 cm thick. The nakago hitsu-ana is .8 x 3 cm. My 1st impression of this tsuba was Jakushi; the dragons and the nunome would fit for that kantei. But it was pointed out that Jakushi aren’t known for work in repousse; repousse (hammering from behind to raise the design) figures prominently on this tsuba. Wangata (cupped shaped) comes, of course, from European influence.
Condition is pristine; there isn’t a mark on the piece. The tsuba comes in a higher quality box with pillow and that box is housed in a lacquered box; conditions of both boxes are excellent. $850.
