This intricately detailed *Tsuba*, or sword guard, was created by the renowned Japanese metalworker Bairyūken Kiyotatsu between 1750 and 1800. The *Tsuba* features a circular shape, with a central oval opening for the sword's blade. The surface is decorated with a beautiful gold-toned pattern of chrysanthemums, a motif associated with the imperial family in Japan. This *Tsuba* is a stunning example of the high artistic skill of Japanese metalworkers during the Edo period.
