All I see there is a sock and shorts with a couple of threads hanging off. Even with your inverted color photo you posted, there is no evidence of a sword....accept for the one you drew in.

I agree. I dont see any sword tied to his leg even in the inverted color version. The emperor has no clothes. (and no sword tied to his leg that I can see)

That is his leg and a string from is leiderhosen. This is an earth bound artifact so no need to imagine stuff like some do with the mars faces.

That’s a good eye you’ve got there dc. As was mentioned earlier, the traditional Bavarian dress of Lederhosen often included a dagger in the sock. I believe that the design of the clothing evolved to reflect the tradition of carrying the knife, and that’s what you’re seeing there. There certainly is plenty of symbolism to check out in that one mural alone, though perhaps it's best done while not indulging in the chronic.
