17th C. Spanish Colonial Iron & Wood Espada Ancha

Item Details

Description

Western Europe or North America, Spain or Mexico, Spanish Colonial Period, ca. 17th century CE. A lovely example of a forged-iron sword known as an espada ancha (literally "wide sword") with a lathe-turned wooden handle. The gently curved, single-edged blade features a pointed tip, a sharpened edge, and a thick spine running the entire length. The quillons attached to the blade shoulder and bottom of the hand guard bear a pair of tab-shaped terminals, and the openwork basket hilt has four slender tendrils attached via rivets. The primary hand guard is a narrow, C-shaped iron bar that attaches to a cylindrical pommel. Espada ancha swords like this example used to have wide blades akin to the traditional broad sword during the pre-Republic era of New Spain in modern Mexico; however, the blade width narrowed over time to facilitate hunting and ease of transport by soldiers. Size: 4.625" W x 34" H (11.7 cm x 86.4 cm); (blade): 27.5" L (69.8 cm)
