ironron Posted February 15, 2011 Report Posted February 15, 2011 Hi . Could you give me some info on this tsuba please ..it is iron& reminds me of an insect or beatle. size is 63mm x60mm Quote
Marius Posted February 15, 2011 Report Posted February 15, 2011 I would rather say it is warabi (bracken). Other info on this tsuba: 1. it is regrettably stripped of patina, possibly over-cleaned by some zealous amateur (it could be repatinated, but only by a specialist) 2. it seems to be late Edo work, possibly Owari 3. it is a small tsuba (for a wakizashi or tanto) Quote
Alan Morton Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 Hi Ron , I agree with Mariusz and would say that the pattern is new fern fronds Alan. Quote
