Recommended Posts

Not sure what style this tsuba is, but the theme is music instruments. what's interesting is that two of the instruments has come off, at it shows the nanako backing behind these menuki like instruments. Looks like they applied lacquer afterwards.

looks like one of the items might be some type of religious mirror, so not sure what the last two items would be...long one a flute or sword, the other?
