Ships from US warehouse.
The Double Lion — Tang Dynasty Iconography
The lion was introduced to China along the Silk Road during the Han dynasty, arriving as a tribute animal from Central Asia and the Middle East. By the Tang dynasty (618–907 CE), the lion had become one of the most powerful symbols in Chinese imperial culture — a guardian figure placed at the gates of palaces and temples, a symbol of strength, authority, and protection. The double lion — two lions paired together — amplifies this power, creating an image of balanced, complementary strength that is one of the most commanding motifs in Tang dynasty art.
Damascus Blade and Premium Ebony
The 1065 carbon steel Damascus blade brings the ancient art of pattern-welded steel to the Double Lion Tang Sword — the flowing, organic patterns of the Damascus process creating a blade of extraordinary visual beauty that matches the bold iconography of the double lion motif. The premium ebony handle provides the density, beauty, and durability worthy of a sword bearing the double lion — its dark, rich color creating a striking contrast with the Damascus blade's flowing patterns.
