object type: Very long straight steel double edged triangular blade. At the base is a silvered tiger’s head, from its moth issuing a set of reinforced riveted through small lotus bud finials to the blade, and with forward curving quillons terminating in stylised dragons’ heads. Lines of brazing can be seen where the components of the quillon bock were assembled. At the back of the tiger’s head is attached the socket, spirally fluted with mouldings at top and bottom, and covered with silver foil, much of which has rubbed away. A pair with O.21-1879.
