It's a replica of an ancient Egyptian Kopis sword. The term kopis (from Greek κοπίς, alternatively a derivation from the Ancient Egyptian term khopesh for a cutting sword has been postulated) in Ancient Greece could describe a heavy knife with a forward-curving blade, primarily used as a tool for cutting meat, for ritual slaughter and animal sacrifice, or refer to a single edged cutting or "cut and thrust" sword with a similarly shaped blade. The Ancient Greeks often used single-edged blades in warfare, as attested to by art and literature; however, the double-edged, straight, and more martially versatile xiphos is more widely represented. Greek heavy infantry hoplites favored straight swords, but the downward curve of the kopis made it especially suited to mounted warfare. Greek art shows Persian soldiers wielding the kopis or an axe rather than the straight-bladed Persian akinakes. The reconstruction was carried out from the ancient bronze items of that period on the catalogs of the museum.
