This is a lovely stool used for set dressing in a castle or tent. The seat is genuine cow hide and the legs have a gorgeous paua shell inlay. The top of the legs have interesting evil looking heads and metal feet. I have not seen this in an episode to date.

Amazon Sword "To Helicon and Back"









Here is the style sword the Amazons carried in Xena Episode “To Helicon and Back”. I noticed that the handle came in 3 colors honey, brown and black and I believe it was according to the status of the Amazon. You can see mine with the brown handle, Cyane is shown with the brown handle like mine. Cyane was second in command to Gabby and I saw a few others with the brown handle, they may have also been 2nd or 3rd command.
Gabby as leader has the honey color handle she was the only one with this color that I could see in the Episode.
I also saw Ephiny with this sword with the honey color handle in Hercules episode “Sky High".

Gabrielle Metal Katana "Friend in Need part 2"








Katana used by Gabrielle in Episode “Friend In Need Part 2”
This sword is metal with a beautiful etched pattern on the blade. The sheath is separate and has intricate metal patterns on both ends. Gabrielle was the only character with this style sword that had the blue silk on the sword and sheath. I have seen this style sword in other collections without the blue silk so there may have been another character or army that carried these in the FIN episodes or they were just made for her character. The sword sheaths without the blue silk may never have made it to film or may have been removed after filming. The blue silk does tie the sword to Gabrielle. This came with an IAW COA that identifies this sword as Gabrielle’s.
