This Celtic sword from around 60 BC, is a magnificent artifact with a hilt resembling a human figure. This anthropomorphic design is not only aesthetically striking but also holds symbolic significance.
The beautifully modeled head that terminates the hilt is one of the finest surviving images of a Celtic warrior. The human form of the hilt, appearing as a geometric reduction of a classical warrior, was likely intended to enhance the power of the owner and bear a talismanic significance.
This sword is a superb example of the technical ability of the Celts and provides a rich insight into their culture during that period.
