Measuring 30 1/2 inches overall, with a 21 5/8 inch blade featuring a straight hamon, deep single fullers and a two piece copper habaki. The round iron tsuba is decorated with gold accented forest scenes, with similar decoration on the fuchi and kashira and a pair of floral pattern menuki. The saya is finished in speckled black lacquer with spiral patterns. A nine-figure signature is present on the left side of the tang, with what appears to be a 10th figure lost to the single mekugi-ana. Consignor notes attribute the blade as 17th century production.
