Ho-o Tsuba
LS018
An elaborate brass Ho-o with 3 5 3 kirimon on the obverse, was likely added in early Edo to a Nambokucho or early Muromachi tsuba fitted for a pole arm. The kozuka ana with its sekigane were later additions. Wonderful condition, and an interesting historical piece. 7.845 cm x 7.842 cm x 2.25 mm $1,500
