Default Viking Sword with a History

Reading the article about the Viking sword find and it's plausible history is interesting in it's self:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencete...h-battles.html

What I find the most interesting is the wire wrap and what looks like turk's heads on such an early sword in Northern Europe.

Anyone that has any good insight on wire wrapping this early in Northern Europe on sword hilts? Imported?
