Overview

The tsuba dates to the late edo period into the meiji period between 1790 to around 1890. The base metal is Sentoku, a type of Japanese brass. It has fine applique of the goddess Quanlin in pure silver accompanied by her dragon which is done in copper. The tsuba was made as a gift to be presented either to a daimyo on an auspicious occasion or given to a retainer by a lord for service above the call of duty. The tsuba would have been made with the idea that it was a tour-de-force and the best work the artist was capable of at the time. It was not made with the intent to be worn on a sword, but rather only as a presentation piece. Excellent condition.
