Iron, kikkagata tsuba in the shape of a 32 petalled-chrysanthemum, with two sukashi on the right side, and a hitsu-ana on the left. This tsuba is most likely Saotome school, even that Myochin is a possibility, but I believe Saotome is correct. This tsuba is very old and probably from Muromachi era. Its a quite big tsuba and very nice condition for its age.
