Description: 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 https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/A_1937-0416-218
