EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of weaponry from the 16th-17th century. Known as a hanger or hunting sword, this steel masterpiece is adorned with exquisite inlaid gold and silver details. The craftsmanship on display is truly awe-inspiring. The blade, originating from Saxony, Germany, holds historical significance with an inscription dating back to 1553. Presumed to be a commemorative date, it adds an intriguing layer of mystery to this already fascinating artifact. The hilt of the sword possibly hails from Italy, representing a beautiful fusion of European influences. Measuring at 73x17.5 cm, this weapon commands attention with its ornate design and intricate metalwork. Its curved shape and handguard further enhance its visual appeal while also serving practical purposes for hunting expeditions. Every element of this hunting sword has been meticulously decorated through damascening techniques that create stunning patterns and motifs along the blade and pommel. This level of detail exemplifies the dedication and skill possessed by craftsmen during this era. Now housed in the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this extraordinary piece was generously gifted by Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance. It stands as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical significance within European culture. Through Bridgeman Images' expert photography skills, we are able to appreciate every intricate detail of this magnificent weapon's decoration without any commercial intent behind it
