Michel Kazanski, "Deux riches tombes de l'epoque des grandes invasions au nord de la Gaule (Airan et Pouan)", in Archeologie Medieval, XII, 1982 pp25-33, and also Tombe d'homme (Pouan), L'or des princes barbares - Du caucase a la Gaule, Ve siecle apres J.C., exhibition catalogue (MAN-Reiss-Mannheim) 2000, p166. I'm working from Philippe Riffaud Longuespe's contribution to "Rome and the Barbarians, the Birth of a New World" ed Jean-Jacques Aillagon 2008 pp322-323.
Yes the scabbard fittings suggest a wooden core to the scabbard. But which buckle is curved? The 1866 copy of the Hunnic buckle?
So we have one vote for a vertical suspension system.
Any others?
