Prince Dmitriy during the Kulikovo battle "... great banner black povele to rynda its above Mikhail ondreyevichem Bren- kilohms to voziti" (Nikonovskaya chronicle). When ryndas performed their duty in the palace, their armament composed large "embassy axe" (indispensable attribute of the audiences, which the Moscow sovereigns gave to the foreign ambassadors: hence occurs the name of axe). It was done made of Damascus steel and steel, was decorated by silver and gold incision. The handles of these axes were decorated with belts from the precious metals (sometimes, however, they bypassed with gilded copper), they were frequently covered with incrustation. A. Yurasovskiy |
