Description: | Sword with heavy, single-edged blade, slight revise curve. Broader at end which is shaped to a blunt point. The hilt is wooden and bound with black painted twines. The scabbard is made of two pieces of wood held together with bands of plaited cane. The upper part of the scabbard is nearly circular (to match the sword hilt), the lower end is flat. A length of thick, soft cord, presumably for slinging the scabbard is wrapped round the upper end. | Source: | Manchester Museum | Identifier: | mm.emu.ecatalogue.humanities.157466 | Go to resource |
