From Tibet or China: Sword Guard, 14th–15th century, Made of iron, gold, silver, and copper. H. 3 1/4 in. W. 4 3/4 in. "Depicting the face of a wrathful Tibetan Buddhist guardian deity, this extremely rare sword guard was originally part of a complete and very lavish sword. It is from the peak period of Tibetan or Sino-Tibetan ironwork, coinciding with the rule of the Phagmodrupa kings in central Tibet and the Hongwu and Yongle dynasties in China."

Jǐnyīwèi 锦衣卫: lit: 'brocade-clad guard' was the imperial secret police that served the emperors of the Ming dynasty in China. The guard was founded by the Hongwu Emperor in 1368 to serve as his personal bodyguards. In 1369 it became an imperial military body. They were given the authority to overrule judicial proceedings in prosecutions with full autonomy in arresting, interrogating and punishing anyone, including nobles and the emperor's relatives. The Jǐnyīwèi was tasked with collecting military intelligence on the enemy and participation in battles during planning. The guards donned a distinctive silk brocaded uniform 飞鱼服- threaded with dragons in a boa constrictor design, with a distinctive badge slung from his torso, and carried a special blade called Xiu Chun Dao 绣春刀.
