Why is this blade 600 years older than its hilt?

This is #RoyalArmouries #Leeds. An amazingly beautiful view ....of things designed to kill or hurt others. Why have we put so much design effort into this?

Imagine all that money and creativity used for peace.

A thoughtful moment for me and @Adrianos on our day out in our home city.

Unconventional display of armaments at the #RoyalArmouries museum in #Leeds. Loads of swords and things mounted on the inside of an octagonal tower, with a sort of pyramidal mirror at the base for the visitor to look into. I'm sure this is a metaphor for something but haven't a clue what.
