ANTIQUE ARMS, ARMOR AND MILITARY DECORATIONS
Japanese tsuba is done in the finest craftsmanship. Made of hand-forged steel covered with an engraved relief ornament depicting many gilded flowers a small part of the ornament is covered with silver. A motif of very detailed chrysanthemums densely covers both sides of the tsuba. The view, in general, would be titled, "Kikka Senpi Zu" or Chrysanthemums in full bloom. Chrysanthemums are autumn flowers. They are also on the crest of the Imperial family. Excellent condition.
