Shoki The Daemon Quller Tsuba

TS047

A large tsuba of Shoki and the daemon on the obverse. It appears to be a combination of takabori and takazogan.  The gold and silver nunome are intact.  The two figureas share a sukashi mouth. 8.5 cm x 8.1 cm x 4 mm.  Likely 19th century, before the Haito Edict of 1870, banning the wearing of swords.  Mint condition.  Unfortunately, Robert Haynes did not make an attribution.                       $4,500
