Summary
| Description |
English:
Openwork cast gold sword hilt, decorated with interlaced dragons, 6th-5th century BC, Eastern Zhou dynasty. It would have been attached to a bronze or cast-iron blade but was probably only intended for display, as the gold would have been too fragile for actual use. 1937,0416.218
