Cinquedea 3
This early 16th century cinquedea is a classic
example of the type, with its small pommel and balustrade-style
grip, drooping crossguard and wide-based blade. This cinquedea was
produced in North Italy, which held a high reputation for producing
and exporting armoury and weaponry during the late Middle Ages.
This object's hilt is composed of ivory, with decorative joining
studs connecting the material to the blade's tang. The edge of the
pommel is decorated with floral designs in low relief.
