sought-after ! Found in the balklands is a mixed metal decorative sheath embellishment.

Medieval age embellishment I once ignorantly thought to be a talisman of a whales tale work by a sailor for safety and protection.Not was I not only so exceptionally wrong.I was equally off from it's original place in history and in ancient military weapons.After a lengthy stent of frustrated research, I found this to be the decorative end of a sheath.The hole I thought was for a chain/rope to hold the talisman around the neck actually held a tassel.Only to adorn the end of the dagger/sword like a flaming peacock during mating season. I was disappointed and excited in the fact the artifact finally had a purpose so I could tell it's story. I'm sure some people are out there reading how can this guy actually savor doing this.? See that's the thing, it's the research and the effort that takes you on the journey to find the truth in every object whether it's broken or whole that helps continue its journey and tells its story.Who wouldn't be humbled to be a part of that process.
