Sabre, from the Tumulus / kurgan n°1 from Gochevo, Modern Russia.
The original artifact was excavated along the body of a dead-warrior, placed between his shoulder, and knee, on the right side. There was a ring, attached to the copper-alloy pommel.
A typically 10 century Rus weapon, probably under the Khazar Khaganate influence.
