This is a small, vertically oval iron tsuba featuring four wild geese arranged in openwork. The stylized geese are boldly carved, connecting the seppa-dai and the rim, with ample space distributed evenly. The tsuba has a thick seppa-dai, with the metal sculpted from the rim towards the seppa-dai, and a round rim. Based on its dark iron texture, it is attributed to the Akasaka school from the mid to late Edo period.
