Description: | An Anglo-Saxon iron sword blade. The blade is suffering from quite severe iron corrosion and has been broken near to the stabbing end. This is a recent break, and both pieces remain. The total length of the object is 940 mm and it weighs 665 g. The blade is 55 mm thick at the handle end, tapering to 30 mm at the stabbing end. The point, however, is missing. The blade is 4.6 mm thick. The blade's tang, where it would have once been attached to the handle, is 85 mm in length, 6 mm wide and 9.1 mm thick. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 410
