Lot 36:
Rare Sino-Tibetan Saber Circa 1750-1800
Description
Sino-Tibetan saber, probably made in eastern Tibet or western China during the Qing dynasty circa 1750-1800. The attribution is supported by the shallowly curved single-edged blade, double-trefoil iron guard, gold-damascened scroll decoration, decorated grip scales secured by large rivets, and the small pommel cap. These features closely parallel documented Sino-Tibetan swords combining Tibetan metalwork with Chinese and Mongolian blade forms. Dimensions: 23.5″ Blade L, 29″ Overall
