Sword Guard

Cleveland Museum of Art

The "Sword Guard" by unknown artist depicts a dark brown, rectangular metal object with rounded corners and a wavy edge. The object has three holes: one long, thin, vertical hole in the center and two smaller oval-shaped holes on either side. Two small circular indentations are positioned below the oval holes. The surface features various etched designs, including a hexagonal pattern in the top-right corner and additional etchings around the edges and throughout the object. The background of the image transitions from black at the top to gray at the bottom.
