A daisho pair of iron tsuba in sukashi openwork, carved with an elaborate floral design and picked out with gold highlights. The larger guard, the dai, measures 3 inches across; the smaller, the sho, measures 2 7/8 inches. The two are matched as a set for the long and short swords of a daisho.
Matched pairs are what collectors of Japanese sword guards look for, and this set comes with its sizes stated, so a Utah buyer can check them against a pair of blades or plan a display around them. The iron body with gold accents and the pierced floral carving are the visible qualities; the supplier does not identify a school, maker or period, and neither do we. The set is listed as used.
