This is a nice iron Tsuba with a strong design theme of a Tiger stalking in thick Bamboo. It measures 65 mm wide x 68 mm tall x 5 mm thick. This is a period-made piece cast in iron. As you can see from the pics, the workmanship is very good and it does not have any crappy flaws. Bargain-priced as even though the design is great, it is not considered by the purists to be a hand-carved 'art' piece.
