The sword was found during excavation at the Amiens site, located in a trench that was made in the 15th century. The estimated production of the sword itself covers a time range between 1325 and 1355.
This discovery also involved a wooden handle and a leather wrapping found together with the sword, although both were in good condition, unfortunately, they were too fragile to be displayed in the exhibition. The curved condition of the sword blade is caused by the circumstances when the sword was first found. So, this is a sword that is not equipped with its scabbard, but remains straight, left in a ditch in Amiens before the 15th century.
The sword has a length of about 96 centimeters and weighs around 0.8 kilograms. Although it is used to strike enemies and withstand attacks, this sword is considered fragile.
The Museum announces that the results of X-ray scanning reveal a number of inscriptions carved on the blade of the sword. The inscriptions may be special marks from its maker or have a protective function with religious connotations. However, the combination of symbols and writings still holds a mystery. This discovery is extraordinary because we already know its archaeological context and the organic elements of the sword are still preserved.
Discovery of Sword in the Seine River.
"In 2018 and 2022, a medieval sword that closely resembled the one from Amiens was discovered during a diving activity in the Seine River. So, this sword was accidentally lost in the river and may have been carried away by the current, far from its original location. It was fortunate that this sword was found in the city ditch. Jonvel stated that the sword is still in good condition because it was buried in the damp marshy soil."
