Ivory Handled Roman Spatha
Respectfully I would like to share my first finished sword with you. It is a Newstead spatha with a mammoth ivory grip. The ivory grip was made by Monica Tielens of BikkelenBeen in the Netherlands. The blade is based on one found at Newstead (Scotland), the grip, a typical spatha grip with a small pommel, was found at Avenches.
Looking forward to your opinions and feedback
