A wooden panel with five pieces of Chinese weapons. Below it are two similar, diamond-shaped spearheads, both of which have spouts with decorative cuffs. There is also another spearhead on the panel in the shape of a four-sided pyramid with a conical socket with grooves. There is also a small, narrow arrowhead in the shape of a three-sided pyramid with a spike. In the centre is the tip of a trident with a spout. Between the point and the spout is a bulging, fixed ring, above which three loose or movable, flat rings are attached. According to the inventory book, two other weapons were attached to the plaque, as shown by the holes for the holders. An arrowhead and a knife with a leather sheath are missing. The cloth came into the collection as a gift from Albert Haag in 1915, who was stationed in the Imperial Fortification in Ulm as a deputy sergeant at the time. Haag had previously been a soldier in the German troops of the East Asian Occupation Brigade, which were sent to China in 1900 to suppress the Boxer Rebellion and fought there with the Allied forces against the Boxers. He was involved in the expedition in "Tientsin" (Tianjin) and "Kaumi" (Gaomi). He donated a total of seven Chinese objects, mostly from a military context, to the Gewerbemuseum Ulm in 1915/1916. Nothing is known about the exact circumstances of the acquisition.
