Nara Tsuba, F-K, +1
DM012
1. A classic moku Nara tsuba circa 1700. AA figure standing by a stream and a second figure in a window done in takazogan with multiple gold and silver applications. A bit of Romeo's "What light from yonder window breaks?" Good condition, but would benefit from a light cleaning.7.8 cm x 7.2 cm x 5 mm. Total price for all three: $155
2. Wakizashi sized shinchu fuchi-kashira of chidori and migrating birds. Good condition. Something for mounting, or for the very newest collector.
3. A project tsuba. very nice design and workmanship with rust issues. It may or may not come out singing when the rust isremoved. Some pitting appears fairly deep. 7 cm. x 6.6 cm x 5 mm. For what it is worth, my guess would be Awa Shoami. My guess and $5 may buy a watered down cup of stale coffe.
