Traditional Weapons

An assortment of historical weaponry including harpoons, swords, and bows, crafted with various materials and designs from different cultures.

Longbow, 19th century, Unknown Japanese, 84 1/2 × 1 × 10 in. (214.63 × 2.54 × 25.4 cm), Laminated lacquered bamboo, Japan, 19th century, Although the sword is the iconic weapon of the samurai, mastery of the longbow was also a highly regarded skill, and expert archers were the stuff of legends. Longbows were the main weapon during the Heian (784-1185) and Kamakura (1185-1333) periods and became formally accepted as a military weapon in 1252. During battle, samurai first shot arrows from horseback before they resorted to sword fighting. In the 1300s, long swords and spears became the weapons of choice for the main offensive, and guns were subsequently introduced in the early 1500s. Archery eventually evolved into a more formal and ceremonial tradition.

Horn late 19th century Probably Igbo people Most Sub-Saharan horns and trumpets are blown from the side rather than from the tip where they may be pierced to allow the player to sound different notes by opening and closing the end hole. Depending on regional tradition, blowholes may have a distinctive shape and appear on the concave or convex curve of the tube. Despite diminished importance as military signal instruments, side-blown horns remain a symbol of power and retain an important position in royal regalia. They are played singly or more often, in a large ensemble.. Horn 501082
