Iron Soten style tsuba decorated with warrior and turtle. I was not able to find the story shown on this tsuba. Warrior is wearing Kabuto so most probably it is showing one of Japanese legends. It might be a local one or less know one. I will look and hopefully will be able to find more about it in the future.
Made of iron with copper and gold inlay.
Made in Edo period.
Size: 83 mm x 83 mm
