Always
the favored weapon of the Celts, the sword underwent
change over the centuries as it progressed from the
simple bronze-bladed leaf shaped sword to the relatively
modern swords you can still see in Scotland and Ireland
today. Some of these blades are still carried on
ceremonial occasions.
This
is a reproduction of a Celtic bronze hilted short sword.
Carried and used with great effect, by these warlike
people that dominated most of central and western Europe
for centuries.
Far
from being merely another warrior tribe, the Celts
possessed a taste for art and beauty which is reflected
in this skull sword. This Skull designed hilt short
sword demonstrates their art, and the well designed
weapon of the short sword. This short, quick blade was
well-suited for the hand-to-hand combat which was a
feature of Celtic warfare.
Our
Celtic Skull Sword is 30 inches long with a 22 inch
blade. Blade is 440 stainless. Hilt is cast
with skulls.
Comes
with a display plaque.
