This is a term defined by the dictionary Shuo wên as an ornament for the upper part of a sword made of jade for the Emperor and of gold (or metal) for the vassal princes. Carved from brown and yellow jade, this sword guard has the shape of a trapezoid, hollowed out through the center where it would be placed on the sword. On one side is a symmetrical design of two tail-joined archaic dragons, carved in high relief. On the surface of the other side is a T'ao T'ieh mask motif. The incised lines are not ornate, thus creating problems with the dating of this piece. A blue string runs through the center of the guard so that the item can be hung. According to ancient Chinese tradition, this personal weapon fitting was buried with the dead. Weapon fittings of the Shang and Western Zhou were frequently reproduced in jade."},{"label":"Title","value":"Carved jade sword guard"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Materials available through GettDigital encompass a wide range of works, many of which are in the public domain.
