This is an unsigned iron tsuba featuring a Yodo no Mizuguruma (waterwheel) design with a ladle. The intricate openwork carving and fine iron ground give it a strong impression. Gold and silver inlays depict water splashes on the ladle, with some gold nunome-zogan remaining on parts of the openwork, suggesting it was made by a refined Kyoto tsuba craftsman.
