- Authors
Shchedrina, Alexandra Yu.
- Abstract
A precious early medieval sword was found in 1900 near the village of KrasnȊanka in the Luhansk region of Ukraine. A.N. Kirpichnikov included the sword in his typology of Old Russian sword hilts, the sword scabbard chape was included in P. Paulsen's typology, and the blade was examined by metallography. The technology of the decoration of the hilt, however, has not yet been studied in detail and has been described incorrectly in most works. This article contains a comprehensive review of this unique archaeological find.
