Johannes Moum

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Rapier by Johannes Moum: The hilt has a pommel with a round top; a short cylindrical section; and a grip wrapped with diagonally crossing metal strips. The guard is bowl-shaped and has a leaf pattern; it extends into two curved quillons with round, flower-like ends. The blade is long and flat with a central groove. The background is grey and white.
