The listing covers authentic antique Japanese menuki, the small ornamental fittings that sit under the handle wrap of a sword on either side of the grip. The supplier states the menuki come from a well-known collection but does not name it, and gives no detail on the subject, metal or signature, so the photos are the reference for design and finish. The item is listed as used under Japanese swords and fittings.

Menuki are collected on their own, apart from any blade, and a piece with a collection provenance is the kind a Utah tosogu collector adds to a tray of fittings or mounts in a small frame. The listing names no maker or motif, so judge the workmanship on what the images show, which is how most fittings are assessed anyway. If the plan is to use the menuki on a handle rather than display them, check the size in the photos against your tsuka before ordering.
