Pommel in the form of an eagle's head, of steel. Knuckle-guard curves outward at the top under the eagle's beak; it swells at midpoint to an oval cartouche crudely carved on each side as a human mask. Very short downcurled rear quillon, its terminal formed as an eagle's head en suite with the pommel. Large, sharply turned down shell-guard on the outside carved à jour with leaves and tendrils enclosing another mask, turned upward. Two of the tendrils end in grotesque heads, reminiscent of the 'Babewyns' decorating 13th century Mss. Blade curved, back-edged, the last 15.2 cm (6") of the back sharpened, with a long narrow fuller against the back. On the obverse of the blade, the mark 'FERARA', and on the reverse 'ANDRIA'. title: hanger NOTES ----- type: history note value: Gardner Sale, Sotheby's 20/11/29, lot 20A LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Applied Arts collection: J.S.
