Tsuba - Kinai/Echizen - Kinai School - Matching Large and Small Tsuba Set A pair of sword guards (large and small) featuring chrysanthemum openwork (sukashi-mon) pattern, crafted from high-quality base iron.

I acquired these pieces during my collecting period, amazed by the craftsmanship achieved without modern machinery.
