AN EXTREMELY RARE GILT-SILVER SHEATH
LIAO-YUAN DYNASTY (AD 907-1368)
The tapering, tubular sheath of oval section is finely decorated on each side with oval panels: the bottom panels with mandarin ducks in flight; the larger middle panels, of two different sizes, with writhing, three-clawed dragons with ring-punched scales, two of them chasing a flaming pearl, all on a wave ground; and the uppermost panels, which are separated by a slit on one side, with phoenixes, all within borders of fine, narrow petals and separated by bands of flower and foliate scroll. Only the dragon panels have a wave ground, all of the others and the narrow foliate bands have a fine ring-matted ground. The flat bottom is engraved with two fish amidst waves. The upper section has a small trefoil-shaped ring soldered to the side opposite the slit. The sheath is lined.
8 ½ in. (21.7 cm.) long, cloth box
