Syria: Sword-makers in Damascus, early 20th century
Auto-translated text View Original Source
Date
1901 AD - 1930 AD (C20th AD)
Image description

Damascus steel was a term used by several Western cultures from the Medieval period onward to describe a type of steel used in swordmaking from about 300 BC to 1700 AD. These swords are characterized by distinctive patterns of banding and mottling reminiscent of flowing water. Such blades were reputed to be not only tough and resistant to shattering, but capable of being honed to a sharp and resilient edge.
