Sword with Scabbard. Culture: Grip and guard, Turkish, Ottoman; blade, European. Dimensions: L. with scabbard 40 3/8 in. (102.5 cm); L. without scabbard 39 3/4 in. (101 cm); L. of blade 34 3/4 in.

The nielloed silver moutns are typical of Ottoman weapons, although the use of lapis lazuli are rare.

Pairs of weapons with straight and curved blades were common in eastern Europe in the seventeenth century.
