Asian Mainland Tsuba

LS032

An obviously not Japanese Japanese manufacture, likely imported from the Asian Mainland, or one of the nearby island nations.  Even natural aging.   7.64 cm x 7.445 cm x 3.52 mm.  Doctors favored Namban and imported items because they conveyed a sense of worldliness.  Not high art, but certainly an interesting piece of history.
