This is a daisho tsuba (matching pair of large and small tsuba) featuring an Aoi (hollyhock) design in sukashi (openwork). It was made by Kinai, a prominent metalworker from Echizen province during the Edo period. The Kinai school was known for its 'Kinai-bori' or 'Echizen-bori' carving style, particularly excelling in dragon motifs, though this piece features a plant design.
