THANKS FOR POSTING THESE IT IS ALWAYS A JOY TO SEE SUCH PICTURES AND NONE OF US GET TO SEE ALL THE EXHIBITIONS OR MUSEUMS. UNFORTUNATELY SOME NEVER GET TO SEE ANY OF THEM SO THIS GIVES THEM A CHANCE TO TRAVEL AND SEE SOME OF THE GREAT ONES EVEN IF IT IS ONLY VIA COMPUTER AND PICTURES.
 THERE ARE MANY FACETS TO THE HUMAN SPIRIT AND INSTINCTS, SOME LIGHT AND SOME DARK IN WEAPONS SUCH AS THESE I SEE A STRANGE MIX. THE DARK PURPOSE OF ARMS IS MANIFEST IN WEAPONS YET WE ARE MOVED TO MAKE SOME OF THEM LIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL. PERHAPS THIS SHOWS THERE IS HOPE FOR MANKIND TO SOMEDAY ELIMINATE THE DARK PART OF ITS SPIRIT THAT CRAVES WAR AND ONLY THE BEAUTIFUL PART WILL REMAIN. PERHAPS IN THAT TIME WE WILL WEAR A JEWELED FEATHER LIKE THE BIRDS WE OFTEN SEEM TO EMULATE IN OUR DRESS.

Many thanks for taking the time to share these outstanding weapons with us.
Excellent photography too, it is not always easy to capture such articles in museum conditions. Did you happen to notice any kukri whilst you were there? Kind regards, Chris |
