physical description: A complete sword in fair condition. Weight: 843 g. Both sides of the fuller are
marked with vertical lines and the letter E. The material of the inlays appears to be
iron, which shows possibly longitudinal slag inclusions or a corroded structure. The
material of the inlays seems to have lower carbon content than the blade, because
the blade is more corroded. The inlays were defined by surface examination. Other
radiographs: no. 2600.
The hilt belongs to the silver-plated type. The parts of the hilt are of iron and decorated
with silver-plating on a hatched surface (30 grooves/cm in two directions). The silver
was decorated with engravings. The pommel has twisted silver wires in its grooves.
The sword is a grave find from inhumation no. 12 in a combined inhumation and
level-ground cremation cemetery. Inhumation grave no. 12 (KM 17208:549–575) is
mixed with cremations, and was excavated by E. Sarasmo in 1961 (KM 17208:501–
700). The sword also has a collection number in the Häme Museum (HM 2463:61).
