okay, this one is fantastic. Four-Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword (Sainchamsegeom). Korea, Joseon dynasty, 17th-19th century AD. Iron with gold and silver inlay; L. 100 cm. Collection: National Museum of Korea, Seoul. “Weapon or portable atlas of the heavens? Along the straight blade, dense gold dots linked by fine lines map the Big Dipper and the 28 lunar mansions; on the reverse runs a 27-character incantation cut in seal script. The object's very name-Sainchamsegeom, "Four-Tiger Sword that slays evil"-belongs to a family of ritual blades made not for battle but for protection.”
