Does anyone have any information on the original report for the finds at Pouan? I’m specifically looking for works dealing with the discovered spatha, like dimensions and materials analysis, but I’ll take pretty much anything.

I can work with French and German, but publications or people to contact for more info in any language will work for me too.

Thanks in advance.

This set of spatha and langseax is awesome, poorly known, unfortunately.

There's a better picture of both here:

I just know the info from wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasure_of_Pouan

https://www.persee.fr/doc/galia_0016-4119_1956_num_14_1_1456 Is that saying the blade with is 6.5cm wide? That hilt picture must be out of proportion.

This https://foucautalain9.wixsite.com/patrimoine-urbain/single-post/2018/02/27/le-tr%C3%A9sor-de-pouan has it 873mm long, 68mm wide.

Here's one with a 7.7cm wide blade: https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/double-edged-sword-spatha-with-goldengrip-sleeve-metal-sheeted-two-strap-metal-fittings-and-sword-pendants/wgFzWrrp9vFSSQ
