Sword Guard

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image titled "Sword Guard" by an unknown artist depicts a circular, dark brown or black metal object with gold accents. The object features a large central oval-shaped hole, surrounded by a ring with four curved protrusions, two on each side. The central section has an etched design with curved lines and a teardrop-shaped cutout in the middle. The object has a textured surface with a darker patina. Gold etchings adorn the object's surface, featuring swirling patterns on the four curved sections and etchings on the central section. The background transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
