Description
Knife or Spearhead (?) with Chinese Characters

You can also see a ceremonial helmet in the background. It's assumed to be ceremonial (or used for the burial) because the plates are slate, which would shatter in a real battle. The documentation described that this might be for protection from ghosts, spirits, or other magical threats.
