EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Kora sword and scabbard, dating back to 1938. Crafted by the skilled hands of the Nepalese School in the 5th-6th century, this metal masterpiece is now housed at the National Army Museum in London. The Kora sword holds great historical significance as it served both fighting and sacrificial purposes in Nepal. This particular example was gifted to the esteemed 2nd Battalion 2nd King Edward's Own Gurkha Rifles (The Simoor Rifles) by Hon Lieutenant Dan Sing Lama, IOM, in 1938. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a time when ceremonial presentations held immense importance. The Kora sword stands proudly on display amidst an atmosphere of reverence and admiration. It symbolizes bravery, honor, and tradition within Nepalese culture. Intricate details adorn every inch of this magnificent weapon; its curved blade reflecting light with elegance while nestled securely within its scabbard. This photograph captures not only the physical beauty of the Kora sword but also evokes emotions tied to its rich cultural heritage. Through this image captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and space - allowing us glimpses into different eras and cultures that have shaped our world today.
