This is the scabbard for a decorative knife typical of the Three Kingdoms period. Divided into four segments, the body is decorated with patterns in high relief. Each segment contains a main pattern showing a pair of phoenixes facing each other within a circle. This major pattern is surrounded by smaller petal patterns.
