Thank you Bill, Lou and Jose!!
 Lou, we have found many arrow heads in obsidian, I hoped to find also some bronze objects since the village is dated to the early bronze age, but we wasn't so lucky

Welcome back Flavio!
Nice sword with a beautiful hilt. I also suspect that the scabbard is later than the blade and hilt. Michael |

As suggested by some members the scabbard is a later replacement. But a well carved one. Nice piece.

Thank you Henk
Well I had taken a better look at the scabbard... Maybe the scabbard it's not original to the sikn but anyway has some age since there are several craks and some pieces are lost... The mouth piece it's instead a new replecement quite well carved even if not a masterpiece  Thank you guys
