Tutankhamun's Egyptian Sword, Decorative Replica

Detailed Sword Description

At first glance, the golden hilt catches the eye, a masterpiece full of colourful details. It consists of several parts:

• The Pommel: It is fan-shaped and dominated by a large, colourful scarab beetle—a symbol of rebirth. It is rendered in blue, red, and black and set with a red gem.
• The Grip: The cylindrical grip is adorned with geometric patterns in red, green, and blue, reminiscent of traditional Egyptian ornaments.
• The Guard: The most prominent part of the hilt is shaped like a pharaoh's collar with a small burial mask in the centre. Its "wings" are decorated with detailed coloured stripes.
• The Blade: The straight, double-edged blade of polished 440 stainless steel is decorated at the top with a prominent black etching in the form of a cartouche with Egyptian hieroglyphs.

A Piece of History in Your Living Room

This sword is the ideal accessory for anyone who admires the culture of ancient Egypt. You can hang it on the wall, display it in a cabinet, or use it as a unique element for themed decorations. It also serves excellently as a prop for theatre performances or for non-contact cosplay. Please note that this is a decorative item and is not intended for fencing, cutting, or any other practical use.

Swords in Ancient Egypt

Although the sickle-shaped khopesh is more typical of Egypt, straight swords were also used, especially during the New Kingdom period (c. 1550–1070 BC). They often served as a symbol of power and status for the pharaoh and high officials. Tutankhamun himself, who reigned in the 14th century BC, had several weapons in his famous tomb, including daggers and swords. This sword is not a direct copy of a specific find, but an artistic interpretation inspired by the symbols and decorations of Tutankhamun's era.
