WEAPONS
The sword’s nickel-plated iron blade is thin, single-edged and ends in a point. Along the entire length of its two sides, it is run by a shallow concave line where the slightly embossed decoration with spirals, flowers and the crescent -without the star - develops on each side. The grip is wooden, lined with snakeskin which is damaged in many places and also has twisted wire decoration. The iron guard has a perforated spiral decoration. There is also the tassel, with its gold-woven ribbon and badly damaged tie. The iron scabbard ends in a plate and in the part of the mouth, it has two integrated metal bands, through which the suspension rings pass. The leather suspension strap with the corresponding metal mechanism passes through the second ring.
