Hirata Kinko Tsuba

TS046

A fairly large later generation Hirata tsuba.  Copper gourd with silver.  Shakudo mimi. There are three obviously intentional dents in the mimi.  Why, I have no idea.  Some suggest that it was to know which was the sharp edge in the dark.  Excellent condition.  7.5 cm x 7 cm x4 mm.   $3,000

 

Obviously not accidental
