"A brillant copper tsuba with silver and shakudo inlay and a shakudo rim. Tatemaru shape.
The theme of this tsuba is Kakko, a Japanese hourglass drum, played on both sides with sticks. This is used traditionally in Gagaku.
It is Mumei but attributed to the Shonai Tradition. The features of this tradition are items made of copper along with silver and shakudo inlays." (Haynes & Long)
