Han Dynasty Jade Sword Guard rodents This specimen measures ~5This is an incredible, rare, Western Han Dynasty sword with a jade guard. Dating back between 202BCE 220CE, this ancient artifact exhibits a stunning contrast between the rusted blade and the vibrant, carved, jade guard. While these jade guards are rare and desirable (fetching around and over $10k USD at auctions), it's even rarer to have so much of the blade intact. This antiquity measures ~11" tall (on the stand) and can be shipped worldwide.
