Great Han Zhao virtuous emperor (something) bestows
Five Tigers general horse illustrious eternal use.


There was a Han emperor whose reign name was Zhao 昭, who reigned from 1297 to 1309.

But before you get too excited about the possibility that this dates from his reign, I doubt the style of characters is consistent for the period, and appears to be based on a later style.

You didn't give any dimensions.
