For almost 40 years, Richard Wagner Jr. collected magnificent oriental weapons, thus building up a veritable "treasure trove" of treasures. High-quality photographs and informative captions present the remarkable collection of oriental bladed weapons in great detail. All the skill and craftsmanship of the weapon smiths and engravers of the Orient and the Eastern countries are evident in the pieces on display. The history, typification, manufacturing methods and imagery of the decorations are explained by the texts.
