I would appreciate any information about style, age, and technique for this tsuba.  Its dimensions are 7 x 6.8 x 3 cms.  Thanks.

The style seems Aizu Shoami, edo period,

Some characteristics are the theme, shinmaru gata(round shape), both hitsu ana shaped as kogai-ana, foliage inlaid in shakudo and nunome gold details

Here are some examples:

Thank you Jose.  That's very helpful.  There's a strong resemblance, particularly to your first example.  Thank you, too, for the description of technique.  I feel that I understand this tsuba much better now.
