Large iron katana tsuba- shakudo dragon - signed??


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello again, another recent purchase (eBay again) that I’m posting for any comments and opinions for which I am always extremely grateful. I’m on a steep learning curve with tsuba.

I have always loved how the Japanese depict dragons and this tsuba has one nicely inlaid in thick high relief shakudo, quite good workmanship imo..The iron has an almost black patina with old corrosion. 

Any help with the signature/school/age would be much appreciated….in fact any comments at all!

It’s a big and heavy tsuba….H9.0cm W8.3cm T4.1mm

Thanks for looking.

All the best.Colin.
