This exquisite product faithfully reproduces a Ming sword that was once exhibited in the Tianjin Museum. It is named after the inlaid inscription "白雪 White Snow" on the blade.
This sword by F&I features white copper (copper-nickel alloy) plated silver fittings, a scabbard adorned with a pattern of silver tortoiseshell plum blossom, a hollowed-out ruyi-shaped sword pommel, and a handle intricately hand-carved with the pattern of a lion playing with an embroidered ball, all exquisitely crafted.
The elegant design of the "White Snow" sword, along with the meticulous craftsmanship of the silver craftmanship on its iron scabbard, showcases an exceptional level of metalworking skill. The name "White Snow" corresponds to the bright luster of its blade, evoking a sense of freshness and purity. The decorative pattern, mainly featuring plum blossoms, symbolizes nobility and resilience in Chinese traditional culture, making this sword not only a weapon but also a work of art.
The White Snow sword is an artistic piece with rich historical and cultural value. Its exquisite craftsmanship and unique design not only demonstrate the superb sword-casting technology of the Ming Dynasty but also reflect the aesthetic tastes and social culture of the time, making it highly collectible.
