6th century warrior grave goods
#1
I came across this and hadn't seen it before, it's a complete grave find of a wealthy warrior from Gammertingen, Germany, VI century.
Dont really have any more info on it other than the blurb on the photo:-
Quote:The princely man was wearing a golden helmet and mail armor. Beside him lay his weapons, including a sword, an axe, a throwing spear, and an ornate lance.

He was certainly armed to the teeth when he was buried but it's interesting to see all of this as a collection belonging to one individual.
