EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent Hand-and-a-Half Sword, dating back to the years between 1540 and 1580. Crafted by the skilled hands of the German School in the 16th century, this weapon is a true testament to their artistry and craftsmanship. Made from steel, with a wooden handle wrapped in leather and sharkskin grip, every detail of this sword exudes elegance and sophistication. The blade measures approximately 94.8 centimeters long, while the quillions span about 31 centimeters in width. With an overall length of 116.80 centimeters and weighing only 1.62 kilograms, it strikes a perfect balance between power and maneuverability. The hilt of this hand-and-a-half sword is adorned with elaborate decorations that showcase the mastery of its creators. A notable inscription on the blade reads "CEA" adding an air of mystery to its origins. Currently housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this remarkable piece was gifted from the Bascom Little Estate. Its presence within their collection allows visitors to marvel at its historical significance as well as appreciate its artistic beauty. This print captures not just a weapon but also serves as a window into history - transporting us back to an era where swords were symbols of strength and chivalry.
