Sword Hilt

Post by Comyn »

Bronze anthropoid hilt of an iron sword from Salon in France, around the second Century BC, now in the British Museum, London. Image from Celtic Warriors, 400BC-1600AD by Tim Newark, Blandford Press 1986

The Druid keeps a dagger with a replica of this hilt in a wooden box that also holds incense and an effigy of the Dagda.
