Created by the talented Tomas Ayala, this exquisite rapier represents the epitome of European applied arts during the 17th century. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of this weapon. Made from a steel alloy and iron, its blade possesses both strength and elegance.
