(5)In ancient China, there were two pathways known for soft iron making. One was the so-called 'direct process' in which bloomery iron, with a low-carbon content, was smelted in a furnace and then directly used for smithing larger numbers of lower quality blades. The second, so-called 'indirect process' was more complex. After smelting from a blast furnace, cast iron was decarburized through a liquid-state procedure called 'chaogang'. This produced still-malleable iron with a significantly higher carbon content of up to 1%, or, in other words, steel of the best possible quality for the manufacture of high-end blades. Needless to say, jade was used primarily for fittings of blades from this group, a sign of almost exuberant luxury, marking its owner as a person of nobility. Similar fittings were also found on bronze swords, but only the ones discovered near the remnants of iron blades are encrusted with distinct rust patterns such as the present lot.Literature comparison: Compare four jade sword fittings from the Myers collection, Western Han dynasty, illustrated in Myrna Myers (ed.) and Filippo Salviati (auth.), Radiant Stones.
