Blade and Mounting for a Double-Edged Dagger (Ken) blade, late 12th-early 13th century; mounting, 14th century Japanese The symbolic significance of the triple-pronged vajra, as well as its shape, made it an appropriate choice for use as the hilt of a sacred sword (ken), as demonstrated by this extremely rare example of an Esoteric Buddhist ritual object in the form of a ken. The blade dates from the late Heian or early Kamakura period (late twelfth to early thirteenth century), and the gilt-copper vajra hilt was probably made in the early Nambokuch period (mid-fourteenth century). In Buddhist iconography the sword represents the defense of religious doctrine and the defeat of falsehood and evil. It is an emblem of intelligence and, by extension, of the victory of spiritual knowledge, which opens the path to enlightenment. Combined with a vajra hilt it signifies the sword of wisdom (e-ken), one of the major attributes of Fud My-, also referred to as the Great Immovable One. Fud wa

One side of the hook has a Persian inscription, "With all his heart, Farijdar Khan became the slave of 'Ali," indicating a Shiite owner.. Elephant Goad. late 17th-early 18th century.

Halberd, c. 1600-25. France, early 17th century. Steel, pierced; appliqué masks in brass; octagonal wood haft with studs and leather straps; overall: 239 cm (94 1/8 in.); blade: 48 cm (18 7/8 in.). The halberd was a staff weapon favored by European infantries (foot soldiers) of the 1400s and 1500s for its versatility and deadly effect. The word halberd comes from the German words Halm (staff) and Barte (axe). The halberd is, in fact, an axe that served multiple functions: the axe blade was used for hacking, the spike for thrusting, and the beak for piercing plate armor or for pulling a knight from his saddle. The halberd was used by shock troops (those who lead an attack) and by Swiss and German mercenaries. After about 1550, the halberd gradually became less functional. Its large blade provided space for coats of arms and insignia. By the late 1500s, the parade halberd had become a ceremonial weapon for palace guards.

Sword with Scabbard Mounts 6th century Japanese Ancient Japanese swords and swords imported from Asian mainland in ancient times are classified on the basis of the interpretation of their pommels, here interpreted in the form of an archaic lion (shishikami or shikami) whose upper jaw forms the lower edge of the pommel which borders to the hilt. Most such hilts were excavated in eastern Japan, primarily in Shizuoka and Gunma Prefectures, and the fact that no such specimen have yet been discovered in western Japan and Korea suggests that we are facing here an indigenous and rather local pommel interpretation..
