Product description

This magnificent decorative sword is a treasure for lovers of early medieval swords! This replica is based on an original sword hilt from the seventh century found in the ship burial of Sutton Hoo. The most famous finds from this grave are the buckle and the Sutton Hoo helmet, but many other beautiful objects were excavated here that give us insight into the world of the noble Anglo-Saxons. The grip of this sword is made in the Germanic animal style type II/B.

 

According to some archaeologists, this was the resting place of King Raedwald of East Anglia and the objects were intended for use in the afterlife. The blade of the original sword was lost, so for this replica it was decided to choose a common type of early medieval blade with a long wide fuller. Like the original, the grip is made from different parts that are riveted together. The grip consists of a wood core wrapped in high quality brown leather, and is decorated with brass fittings. The fittings are decorated with spiral early medieval art motifs. The pommel and cross-guard consist of wood discs, each side fitted with a brass disc. The pommel is crafted in typical early medieval style with red enamel in cloisonné (small brass compartments into which molten glass was poured). The sword comes with a brown leather scabbard with a wood core, fitted with brass fittings and a belt loop so you can hang it from your belt.
