Celtic Sword and Scabbard
A La Tene type sword fixed in its sheet-iron scabbard; the tang square-section and slender with domed closure at the top; the u-shaped cross guard with flared ends echoing the shape of the locket; the scabbard formed around the lentoid-section blade, with two cross-straps on the outer face; emerging from the corners of the locket, two gently curved straps evolving into coiled bosses; four smaller pairs of coiled round bosses emerging from the side-bars; the chape D-shape in plan; on the reverse a riveted suspension bracket.
