Tang Jian Swords by Hanwei
The amazing collectible Tang sword you see here is a Jian that exemplifies the artistry and symbolism in Chinese culture across many generations. The proportions and balance of this sword will appeal to the Taijiquan practitioner, while the unique fittings and decoration will establish its place in many collections. The highly detailed guard is designed after the shoulder guards of the Mingguang Armour, an important armour suit dating from the Tang dynasty. The handle is wrapped in leather over ray skin in a traditional Chinese style for a superior grip. The diamond-section blade has both profile and distal tapers. This magnificent sword was designed to be a very quick sword and is engraved with an ancient dragon pattern over most of the length of the blade. The wooden scabbard is decorated in figured brass and is provided with a belt attachment. The throat of the scabbard fits snugly into the mouth of the lion-dog, an interesting and unique feature!
