Iron Tsuba With Karakusa Decoration, Edo Period, 17th Century
A maru-gata-shaped tsuba in patinated dark brown iron, decorated with finely engraved foliate scrolls (karakusa) covering the entire surface.
The work is executed in shallow engraving (kebori) with a fluid and regular design, typical of Kyoto production. The elegant and repetitive motif evokes continental decorative influences adapted to Japanese taste during the Edo period.
The plate displays a beautiful, even antique patina with consistent signs of wear. The classic-shaped nakago-ana has no visible sekigane.
The overall effect is one of refined simplicity, characteristic of decorative tsuba intended for high-quality mounts.
