Five fragments of a tanged sword. Most of the tang and tip are missing. A semi-circular curve on the blade indicates the shape of the shaft. The blade appears to have been wider in the middle; there is a rounded central rib flanked by a line on either side. The midrib ends near the point and the lines converge and continue to the point. The sword is severely damaged: it has been burned and is corroded. The sides of the blade are broken and chipped. Length: 58.8 cm
