Product description
A fine replica of a Celtic sword from the Iron Age, crafted by the renowned brand Marto. In 1902, workers accidentally discovered a Celtic grave on the North Grimston estate. The Celt had been buried with a shield, two swords and a piece of pork. The smallest sword was decorated with an anthropomorphic grip (shaped like a human figure), typical of Celtic swords from the La Tène 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 currently on display at the Hull and East Riding Museum and is amongst the best preserved anthropomorphic swords. This Celtic ornamental sword is well-suited to collectors of historical swords and serves equally well as a home decoration. The blade is crafted from stainless steel and requires little maintenance.
