"Gold & Damascus Steel – The Ottoman Art of Bladesmithing" Exhibition
I have visited yesterday a wonderful exhibition in Coburg, Germany "Gold & Damascus Steel – The Ottoman Art of Bladesmithing". The presented swords and daggers are the real masterpieces of Ottoman art. One can see the unique early blades from 15-16 centuries alongside with beautiful blades from the sultan's workshops.
There is an absolutely great catalogue of the exhibition, with all the pieces which were photographed in detail and described, alongside with new insights on Wootz production and blade decoration. I would recommend to study the catalogue before going to the exhibition, to understand and enjoy it more fully. |

All swords from the exhibition are very well pictured and described in detail in the catalogue.
The articles on evolution of Ottoman arms, Wootz production and sword decoration are bilingual, and the individual sword descriptions are only in German. But it is still a huge and heavy volume! |
