Item Details

Description

Circa 900-700 BCThe cross guard and tang of the sword are cast as one piece with the blade. The hilt would have been wrapped with leather to provide a comfortable grip for the user and the end of the tang, protruding beyond the grip of the hilt, a delicately formed pommel. The sword would have been cast in a rough mold and then the edges would have been forged, giving them a sharpened edge and simultaneously hardening the surfaces. Size: L:670mm / W:50mm; 1kg Provenance: Property of an Oxfordshire art professional; previously in an old British collection, formed in the 1980s on the UK / International art markets.
