A nice guard Mikolaj. It is strange to see fukurin on a sukashi tsuba like this. Usually the mimi was exposed to examine the workmanship. The horse bit has the cross symbol and may therefore be made for someone of the Shimazu clan.

The fukurin is interesting. One is always curious to see underneath to find out the reason. Here is a like tsuba of mine that is not so well worn, no fukurin, probably not as old.
