- Lot Description
Western Europe, Spain, Toledo, ca. 17th to 18th century CE. A striking iron sword with a grip carved from the bone of an ungulate and a double-edged blade with "EN TOLEDO" inscribed along both fullers. The iron blade tapers to a point, fit at its base with a straight, faceted crossguard adorned by incised striations and berry-shaped finials. Another faceted iron band rises outward from the crossguard, forming a loop with a decorative sphere at the center just above the cylindrical bone grip, which is incised with a spiraling line wrapping it horizontally. A pair of iron rings with diagonal striations sit above and below the grip, while a globular iron pommel, also with diagonal striations, surmounts the hilt. Size: 19.5" L x 6.3" W (49.5 cm x 16 cm); 21.5" H (54.6 cm) on included custom stand; (blade only): 14.2" L x 1.1" W (36.1 cm x 2.8 cm)
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection, 1995 to 2010; ex-Bill Freeman collection, New Mexico, USA
