Product description

The beautiful decorative sword is a fine asset for early medieval sword enthusiasts. The replica is based on an original sword hilt from the seventh century, found in the Sutton Hoo ship-burial. The most famous finds from this burial site are the buckle and the Sutton Hoo helmet, but many other remarkable objects have been excavated here that offer us insight into the world of the noble Anglo-Saxons. According to some archaeologists, this was the resting place of King Raedwald of East Anglia, and the objects were intended for use in the hereafter. As the blade of the original sword has been lost, this replica has been furnished with a common type of early medieval blade featuring a long, broad fuller. Just as with the original, the grip is constructed from different parts that are riveted together. The grip consists of a wooden core wrapped with high-quality brown leather and decorated with brass fittings. The fittings are adorned with spiral-shaped early medieval art motifs. The pommel and guard consist of wooden discs, with a brass disc on either side. The pommel is crafted in typical early medieval style with red enamel in cloisonné (small brass compartments into which the molten glass is poured). The sword is supplied with a brown leather scabbard with a wooden core, decorated with brass fittings, and it features a belt loop so that it may be hung from your belt.
