Good call Rich I found these images of "Shitogi tsuba"
The tsuba (4) ....looks very familiar and is decribed as 19c.....so much for the 17c (1600 -1650) stated by seller   As to the hilt...I would think a representation of a period Greek woman.....perhaps a cut down candle holder....the urn being where the candle would be placed
