Ko KinkoTsuba
TS038
An unusual and easily overlooked shinchu ko kinko tsuba Momoyama or early Edo. The waves and spots of sea spray are in gold. The kogai hitsu is definitely atobori. The cut 0n the inside of the wave is apparent. 7 cm x 6.1 cm x 3 mm. i generally think of Nambokucho, when dealing with 3 mm thickness.
I have been doing this for a long time, and I can't recall ever seeing a similar tsuba. $450
