👉 The marion weapon, also known as the marionette or marionette sword, is a unique historical weapon that resembles a large, articulated puppet. It typically features a long, slender blade with intricate joints and hinges, allowing it to move in a manner similar to a puppet. Originally used in medieval Europe, particularly in the 14th to 16th centuries, it was often employed by guards or as a ceremonial weapon. The marion weapon's design enabled it to mimic the movements of a real sword, making it effective for both practical combat and theatrical displays. Its elaborate construction and aesthetic appeal also made it a popular choice for processions and pageants, symbolizing power and authority.
