@caitlinrgreen That's a beauty! Similar to the Abingdon sword, would you say?
@moonlitflit yes, both niello and Trewhiddle :)
@caitlinrgreen Love a bit of niello!
@moonlitflit oh, yes! Abingdon sword posted for further solidarity w/ poor, short 9thC ;)
@caitlinrgreen Trewhiddle refers to sword hilt/pommel shape, or decoration style?
@caitlinrgreen Ooh, nice! Think I need to re-visit my undergrad insular art notes. Thanks for posts.
@moonlitflit it's a lovely piece! And no worries :)
