Medieveal artifact found on Berezina River bank

A medieval artifact was found in Bobruisk on the bank of the Berezina River. A rare sword was found in the dirt by a local resident and handed over to museum workers. According to historians, the weapon was made in the middle of the 13th century and could belong to a wealthy person. Now the specialists are removing excess salt and corrosion from the exhibit. The sword will be thoroughly studied after that. Earlier in Bobruisk, a gilded combat helmet was found, which was believed to be as important as the Manomakh’s Cap.
