This is a tsuba attributed to Ko-Kinko, featuring a design of a drying net and plovers. Ko-Kinko refers to early kinko works from the Muromachi period that cannot be specifically attributed to Goto, Kyo, or Mino schools. This piece showcases high-quality shakudo with a well-used nanako ground, creating a deep, subdued color. The design skillfully depicts a quiet beach scene with a drying net and plovers flying in the sky, rendered in high-relief carving, inlay, and thin-relief carving. Silver inlay of a diagonal lattice pattern on the drying net and gold-painted stones floating on waves add a vibrant touch to the simple composition, exuding elegance and refinement. It passed the Hozon Tosogu appraisal in 1999.
