Round iron tsuba, the outline broken by four boars eyes on a plain surface. Decorated by a shakudo wild goose, gilt beak and feet flying down in a ripe field of rice, fruit gilt, all under a silver moon design continued on the back. Signature Natsuo and Kakihan.
There appears, very faintly, something like an inscription, which has been almost rubbed out.
