This is an unsigned tsuba featuring a yugao (moonflower) motif, likely from the mid to late Edo period. Made of iron, it depicts yugao flowers and fruits around a lattice window, reminiscent of the 'Yugao' chapter from The Tale of Genji. The thick iron tsuba has a square shape with silver and shakudo rope-patterned fukurin (rim).
