Oh, the old dagger... The weapon of the East
Exposición 22 de enero − 17 de abril 2022
on January 22 the exhibition "Oh, the old dagger... Weapons of the East" begins in the Safari Hall. The second joint project with the State Museum of Orient (Moscow) will give the seaside viewers the opportunity to get acquainted with rare objects of the most valuable collection and the mythology associated with them.
The geography of the exhibition of traditional cold steel weapons covers many regions: the Russian Caucasus, the Middle, Middle and Far East. The exposition included seventy-two exhibits, mostly examples of short-bladed weapons - knives and daggers, and in smaller numbers - swords.
Most 19th- and 20th-century Caucasian daggers come from the Dagestani village of Kubachi, the most famous center of gun-making in the North Caucasus.
Weaponry art of the Near and Middle East is shown with the example of Arab, Iranian and Ottoman blades made in the 19th and 20th centuries.
The most celebrated edged weapons of the inhabitants of Indonesia and Malaysia are the kris daggers. In the spiritual life of the islanders, the kris plays an important role, including as an object endowed with many symbolic characteristics.
The sacred meaning is embedded in the ritual axe, hatchet, and sculpture of the heavenly warrior from Vietnam, a country with a rich military history.
The making of cold weapons in Myanmar was accompanied by special rituals accompanied by prayers.
In Japan, the sword was regarded as a sacred object given by the sun goddess Amaterasu Omikami. It was believed to contain the souls of the ancestors. The samurai images can be seen on tsuba depicting battle scenes, such as the clan warriors of the Taira and Minamoto clans clashing.
