Boabdil Sword

This exquisite Moorish Sword is a tribute to Abu Abdallah Muhammad XII (c. 1460–1533), known in Europe as Boabdil, the last ruler of the Nasrid dynasty in Granada. A poignant symbol of cultural heritage and historical transitions, the sword captures the essence of a pivotal moment in history—the fall of Granada in 1492, marking the end of Muslim rule in Iberia and the unification of Spain under Christian rule.

Crafted in the renowned Art Gladius factory in Toledo, Spain, this scimitar-style blade embodies the artistry and craftsmanship of Moorish tradition. The lavishly decorated brass hilt is adorned with intricate Arabic symbols and inscriptions, celebrating the rich cultural legacy of Al-Andalus. Enamel-painted details on the grip enhance its ornate design, making it a striking display piece.

With its curved, blunt blade, this sword is designed for display only—a timeless homage to a transformative chapter in history, perfect for collectors and history enthusiasts alike.
