    Seven-Branched Sword
    The Seven-Branched Sword or shichishitou in Japanese believed were built in 4th century CE. The sword was a gift from the king of Baekje to a ruler from Japan’s Yamato period. It is a 74.9 cm long iron sword with six branch-like protrusions along the central blade. The delicate nature of the sword branches suggest that it was never intended to be used as a weapon, but rather served a ceremonial function.

    Dug up a few fragments but never found a whole one. Circa 3000 years old.

    Those are the shards of Narsil, the sword used by Isildur to cut the Ring of Power from the hand of Sauron. Later re-forged to become Anduril and given to Aragorn who became King Elessar of Gondor during the Third Age of Middle Earth.
