Eta or Eda Funayama Kofun is a 5th or 6th century [[kofun|burial mound]] in [[Kumamoto prefecture]]. It was first excavated in [[1873]]; a number of ancient swords and other objects from the ''kofun'' were traded to [[Bashford Dean]] of the [[Metropolitan Museum of Art]] in [[1906]], in exchange for Egyptian objects. Those objects from the Eta Funayama Kofun remaining in Japan were named [[National Treasures]] in 1965, and remain in the collection of the [[Tokyo National Museum]].
