Celtic Sword
The North Grimston Sword, this rare and surprising Iron Age sword, was found by chance as state officials dug holes in Lord Middleton's lands near North Grimston, hence the name of the sword.
In 1902, workers discovered the tomb of a Celtic warrior in North Grimston. The dead man had been buried with a shield, two swords and a piece of pig (according to the Curadmír or the champion's part who gave the most-than-the-king piece of meat to the best warrior or tribal hero as the bravest), suggesting he was a tribal hero. The smallest of the two swords was decorated with an anthropomorphic cord (in the form of a man). Possession of such a rare object marks the man buried in North Grimston as one of the most important iron age characters in East Yorkshire.
JR Mortimer, the pioneering archaeologist ded Driffield, studied and published the extraordinary discovery in his book "Forty Years of Research in the British cemeteries and Saxons of East Yorkshire" in 1905
The excavators discovered the burial site of an important Iron Age warrior. In addition to the famous short sword with its human-shaped bronze fist, there was another much longer iron sword, two iron rings probably from the belt and the fragmentary remains of a bronze shield.
The North Grimston sword is one of the few similar weapons found in Celtic Europe that feature a human figure that forms the fist. Other examples come from Hungary, northern Italy, Switzerland and France.
This sword can now be seen on display at the Hull and East Riding Museum
This magnificent anthropomorphic Celtic sword is also one of the best preserved. The human form of a warrior in the fist, could have the talisman symbol and the power of the owner. The face is emphatically detailed with large almond eyes and the head with finely drawn hair.
The sword is of a kind associated with the La Tène culture.
