A wooden board with five parts of Chinese weapons, including two similar, rhombic spearheads that have both sockets and decorative sleeves. In addition, a further spearhead in the shape of a four-sided pyramid that has a tapered socket with grooves. On the board is a small, slender arrowhead that has the shape of a three-sided pyramid and a tang. In the middle is the top part of a trident with a socket. In between the tip and the socket is a padded, tight ring above which three flat, loose rings are applied.
According to the inventory, there were two more weapons affixed to the board. This is confirmed by the holes for the holders. Another arrowhead and a knife with a leather sheath are missing.
In 1915, the weapons came into the museum's collection as a gift from Albert Haag who was at this time sergeant in the Kaiserliche Fortifikation (imperial fortification) in Ulm. Previously, Haag was a soldier of the German troops in the Ostasiatische Besatzungsbrigade (East Asian expeditionary corps) that was sent to China in 1900 for the suppression of the Boxer Rebellion and who fought there with the allied forces against die Boxers. He took part in the expedition in "Teintsin" (Tianjin) and "Kaumi" (Gaomi). Albert Haag has brought different objects from China. In total, he donated seven of the Chinese things mostly from the military context to the Gewerbemuseum (Museum of Applied Arts) Ulm in 1915/1916. The circumstances of the acquisition are unknown.
