Product description
This dagger from Marto is based on a Celtic sword from the Iron Age. In 1902, workers accidentally found a Celtic grave on the North Grimston estate. The Celt was buried with a shield, two swords and a piece of pork. The smallest sword was decorated with an anthropomorphic grip (in the figure of a human), typical of Celtic swords from the La Tene period. Such swords were luxurious and exclusive. Similar swords have been found in Switzerland, Hungary, France and other former Celtic countries. The original sword is now on display at the Hull and East Riding Museum and is one of the best preserved anthropomorphic swords. This Celtic ornamental dagger is great for collectors of historical weapons and as home decoration. The blade is made of stainless steel and requires little maintenance.
