sword, Anonymous, second half of the 16th century, iron, wood, broadsword, so-called 'two-handed sword' of iron with a black-painted wooden handle. The handle has a spool-shaped contour, separated in two parts by a set of thick ridges in the middle. The upper part is octagonal in cross section, the part between the ridges is circular. The knob is made of iron, with a double-conical contour. The bottom part of the handle is smooth, the top half of which is divided into four pointed panels, separated by as many deep grooves, filled with hammered St. Andrew's crosses of double hammered grooves. Grip rings are missing, but a thickened ridge has been cut instead of the bottom one. The cross-guard has flat arms with spiral protrusions, two at the bottom on either side of the side rings and double, at the top and bottom, at the ends. Moreover, these ends have a spiral running transversely thereon (only on one side, outside or carrying side). A further protrusion on the cross-guard is a flat spatula-shaped tip with a small ball. Both flat arms of the cross-guard increase in width towards the ends and are embossed on the flat sides with panels separated by oblique lines, filled with cross grooves, respectively plant motifs. A pair of ring collars, round in cross section and oval in plan view, each have two thickenings with spiral wound surfaces and are at some distance from two baffle plates with serrated edges. Dimensions Catalog dimensions: total length 180.3 cm; blade length 128 cm x width 4.5 cm; guard 58.8 cm, General: 181.5 x 56.6 x 15.6cm (1815 x 566 x 156mm).
