Item Details
Description
Featured in this lot is an antique Katana Tsuka Gashira circa mid 1800s with carved red copper and gold gilt decorations in mixed metals including iron from the end of the Edo Period. Provenance: the Owen D. Mort, Jr. Collection. Owen David Mort was an American engineer who amassed an impressive collection throughout his worldwide travels. His collection has included art, artifacts and other historical items from which he has donated to museums at the University of Utah and the Snite Museum of Art at the University of Notre Dame. Donations also include African, Afghan and Asian artifacts. The Samurai would dominate Japanese government and society until the abolishment of the feudal system during the Meiji Restoration of 1868. Tsuka-Gashira (pommel cap) is the equipment of a sword which is attached to the edge of a hilt. It is the metal part located opposite side of a sword head. Regarding Japanese swords, there are two types of tsuka-gashira: round head and cylindrical-shaped head, and some of them have a pattern. It depends on the sword which type of tsuka-gashira it has, and there are many cases it has no pattern. This Tsuka Gashira has a floral decoration reflecting the intricate artistry of the skilled carver, a rich patina observed throughout. Measures 1.5"L
