Small Sword

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Small Sword has a curved ivory or bone handle with engravings. A metal band with inlaid jewels encircles the base of the handle. The blade appears to be made of ivory or bone, featuring engravings along its length. A cord is attached to the handle. Next to the sword is a decorative tassel with a round medallion at the top and two red tassels on either side. A long ivory or beige-colored tassel hangs below the medallion. The background is dark at the top, transitioning to light gray at the bottom.
