This is a small, round iron tsuba featuring a Hishigankarakusa Sukashi design, combining vertical菱 (hishi/diamond) patterns with geese in openwork. The composition, centered around the diamond motif, skillfully connects stylized geese, creating a geometric yet dynamic and balanced piece. Made of well-forged iron with a dark hue, the mimi (rim) shows tetsu-bone, indicative of a powerful ji-sukashi work. The tsuba exhibits the robust and antique charm characteristic of Owari sukashi tsuba, and its iron quality and style suggest it was made in the early Edo period.
