Product description
A beautiful replica of a Celtic sword from the Iron Age, made by the famous brand Marto. 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 (shaped like a human), typical for Celtic swords from the La Tene period. Such swords were luxurious and exclusive and belonged to mighty warriors. Similar swords have been excavated in Switzerland, Hungary, France and other 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 sword is great for collectors of historical swords and as home decoration. The blade is made of stainless steel and requires little maintenance.
