The plate of this tsuba has a polished finish (migaki-ji) and is decorated on the obverse with a flush copper hira-zōgan inlay in the form of a dragon with partial gold highlights and golden clouds. The reverse shows a flush copper hira-zōgan inlay of paulownia leaves with tendrils and the rim is decorated in gold nunome-zōgan. A small opening has been added next to the opening for the tang (nakago-hitsu), probably for some kind of retention clip.
