Sword - Tréboul-Saint-Brandan type

This solid-hilted sword, probably found in the Rhône near Lyons is of a type and technology suggesting that it was made in Brittany. Almost identical comparable finds even suggest that there may have been a workshop there for high-value weapons like this. Other sword finds of the same type moreover show that they predominantly had hilts made of wood and not bronze. So this example with a metal hilt was more than just a weapon, it was a high-value symbol of power.
