Sword of Saints Cosmas and Damian
The Sword of Saints Cosmas and Damian, also known as the Sword of Essen, is a ceremonial weapon in Essen Abbey. It was a gift from Otto III, Holy Roman Emperor to the convent in Essen in 993 AD and symbolises the martyrdom of Saints Cosmas and Damian, the patron saints of that city.
The blade is 93.6 cm long. It features gold filigree though not much of this remains, along with precious stones and decorative enamel plates.〔Laking, Guy Francis. (A record of European armour and arms through seven centuries: Chapter I Part 2 - Swords ). Accessed 26 August 2011.〕 The scabbard is lined with beechwood and covered in embossed gold plates, some of which have at some time been restored, that depict spirals, foliage and animals.〔 The silver locket mounts show images of Saints Cosmas and Damian, along with the Latin inscription: ラテン語:GLADIVS CVM QVO DECOLLATI FVERVNT NOSTRI PATRONI〔 ("the sword, with which our patrons were beheaded").
The sword itself dates to the 10th century, the gold decoration is high medieval period, while the silver mounts with the inscription were added 15th century.
