An authentic round iron Tsuba (Maru-gata) from the Edo period, featuring a stylized openwork design (Sukashi) depicting a wasp (Hachi). The anatomy of the insect is cleverly integrated into the composition, with four small circles forming the compound eyes at the bottom, the central plate representing the abdomen, two large side loops forming the wings, and a carved stinger at the top.
