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 featured an anthropomorphic grip (shaped in the figure of a human), typical of Celtic swords from the La Tène period. These swords were luxurious and exclusive. Similar swords have turned up in Switzerland, Hungary, France, and other former Celtic countries. The original sword is now on display at the Hull and East Riding Museum and ranks among the best preserved anthropomorphic swords. This Celtic ornamental dagger is a great choice for collectors of historical weapons and makes an excellent home decoration. The blade is made from stainless steel and requires little maintenance.
