Tsuba is the stitch leaf of the Traditional Samurai sword, a stand-related weapon in the Feudal system Japan (Edo period, around 1850). It sits between the handle and blade. The slightly oval plate (diameter approx. 7 cm) consists of a copper alloy and exchanges made of gold, with artistic decorations. The back is also artistically designed. The sword is led by the central recess, the smaller one serves to absorb the Beesser (Kozuka). The Tsuba is as a goldsmith Aglaia Köster as Place of jewelry in silver and decorated with a fly.
