Sword Guard

Cleveland Museum of Art

Dark brown sword guard with a circular shape. The circular shape has a large central oval-shaped opening. The circle is intersected by three curved shapes that extend from the center to the edge. The curved shapes are pointed at both ends. The curved shapes divide the circle into three sections on each side of the oval-shaped opening. There are two lines of engraved text on either side of the oval-shaped opening. The background is black at the top and fades to gray at the bottom. The image is titled "Sword Guard".
