Q265. Sukashi Tsuba with Mokume Surface

Q265.  Mokume iron tsuba.  7 x 7.4 x .5 cm.  The nakago hitsu-ana is .7 x 2.7 cm.  Mokume, normally used to name wood burl grain on a sword, when used with a tsuba means we can see the layers of steel from the folding process.  The ryo hitsu are plugged with shakudo.  Very good condition.  $250.
