Late roman spatha\'s with stripe pattern
#31
The Koln sptha has a lenticular cross section. I have this picture of a reconstruction. On the original the guard, grip and pommel were made of ivory, not wood. The blade proportions look good though. I must stress in style IMHO, the Koln owed more to 3rd century, than the 4th or 5th.
