| Description | Inventories of medieval and Early Modern period military paraphernalia from Bohemian and Moravian collections have already revealed numerous unique weapons. These include the weapons presented in this essay: two richly decorated dussacks featuring massive knuckle-bows with special decoration. On the basis of the elaborate decoration and comparisons with objects decorated in a similar manner, the dussacks can very likely be dated to the end of the 15th and the beginning of the 16th century. |
