Characteristics:
The North Grimston Sword, this rare and amazing sword from the Iron Age, was found by chance while state workers were digging holes on Lord Middleton's land near North Grimston, hence the sword's name.
In 1902, workmen discovered the grave of a Celtic warrior at North Grimston. The dead man had been buried with a shield, two swords and a piece of pork (according to the Curadmír or Champion's Portion that awarded the most select piece of meat to the best warrior or tribal hero as the bravest) data that suggests that it was a tribal hero. The smaller of the two swords was decorated with an anthropomorphic (man-shaped) handle. Ownership of such a rare item marks the man buried at North Grimston as one of East Yorkshire's greatest Iron Age figures.
JR Mortimer, Driffield's pioneering archaeologist, studied and published the extraordinary find in his book "Forty Years Researches in British and Saxon Burial Mounds of East Yorkshire" in 1905.
Excavators had discovered the burial site of a major Iron Age warrior. In addition to the famous short sword with its bronze hilt in the shape of a human head, there was another much longer iron sword, two iron rings probably from the sword belt, and the fragmentary remains of a bronze shield.
The North Grimston sword is one of the few similar weapons found in Celtic Europe to feature a human figure forming the hilt. Other examples come from Hungary, northern Italy, Switzerland and France.
This magnificent anthropomorphic Celtic sword is also one of the best preserved. The human form of a warrior on the hilt could have been a symbol of a talisman and power of the owner. The face is emphatically detailed with large almond shaped eyes, and the head with finely drawn hair.
