Sword guard (Tsuba) Depicting Icefish Between Seaweed (に白魚図鐔) ca. 1615-1868 Japanese The plate of this tsuba shows a coarse spiral forging structure which represents running water. On the bottom right of the obverse, a shibuichi icefish (Japanese: shirauo, 白魚) and seaweed is inlaid, and apart from two small branches of seaweed, the reverse is left undecorated. In Japan, the icefish stands for spring.

Pair of Elbow Defenses (Couters) late 15th century Spanish This is part of a large find of medieval armor discovered in 1840 in the ruins of the fortress of Chalcis, on the Greek island of Euboea (then a Venetian colony called Negroponte). The fortress had been captured and destroyed by the Turks in 1470. Now divided largely between the Ethnological Museum, Athens, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Chalcis hoard contains many rare and unusual elements of fourteenth- and fifteenth-century armor. Of particular importance are the variety of headpieces and the many fragments of brigandines (armor for the torso constructed of small plates riveted to layers of fabric), some of which retain portions of their original velvet covering. The Chalcis armor provides a unique picture of the armament used in the Aegean, one of the easternmost military outposts of the Venetian empire.. Pair of Elbow Defenses (Couters) 24895

Sword Guard (Tsuba) Depicting Spider Web on Dead Tree (木に蜘蛛の巣図鐔) ca. 1615-1868 Japanese The entire plate of the tsuba is carved to resemble a dead tree, with a spider web and threads inlaid in gold nunome-zōgan. A spiderweb on a dead tree combined with an openwork design (as here represented by the small ko-sukashi towards the bottom and the two hitsu-ana) alludes to a famous scene from the Genpei War (1180-1185). In 1181, Taira warrior Kajiwara Kagetoki (梶原景時, 1162-1200) was sent to pursue the fleeing Minamoto no Yoritomo (源頼朝, 1147-1199). Kagetoki discovered Yoritomo hiding in the hollow trunk of a fallen tree but as he was switching sides, he did not reveale Yoritomo’s hideout. A spider had spun its web over the opening in the trunk since Yoritomo had crawled inside and so Kagetoki pointed out to his men that no one could be hiding therein as that spider web was intact..
