Sword Guard

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Sword Guard, by an unknown artist, is a circular object made of dark metal. The object has a textured surface resembling scales and a central elongated teardrop-shaped cutout. There are two oval-shaped cutouts on either side of the teardrop shape. The top of the circle has a star-shaped cutout surrounded by two curved protrusions resembling leaves or wings. The bottom of the circle features an intricate design with curved lines and a small gold-colored circle in the center. The background of the image is dark grey, gradually becoming lighter towards the bottom.
