Timurid royalty admired the qualities of nephrite (jade). The carved pieces that survive from the period include engraved rings and a dragon-handled white jade jug, similar in profile to the inlaid metalwork example displayed here. At least two jade dragon-headed sword guards are known, including this example, created from the finest and rarest type of nephrite\u2014black jade. Known for its hardness, jade is extremely difficult to carve, underscoring the exceptional quality of this highly detailed carving of confronted dragon heads with protruding tongues.
