Ein Drache aus Goldfäden
A Dragon in Gold Overlay
An iron tsuba with rounded corners. A dragon coils round the seppa-dai among dense scrolling clouds, laid on in gold overlay, nunome-zogan, that covers the outer field almost completely. The centre stays dark and plain, and the hitsu-ana are closed with plugs of a darker metal. The back repeats the dragon and the clouds.
The tsuba is unsigned. Nunome zogan inlays with Gold is pointing into Edo Higo direction. It comes from the collection of Alan Hartman in New York and is in Japan at present. Its page follows on its return.
