Description: | Tetsu, maru gata, kaku mimi tsuba. The kozuka and kogai hitsu ana are irregular and formed as part of the sukashi design. The hira of the tsuba is formed from a ko-sukashi design of many interlocking monkey forms. The construction and thickness of this tsuba suggests that it is pre-Edo period, probably early Momoyama.
