Interesting feather holders! Could also fit in with an idea for a crest I sketched....

Hmm, ritually killed, or a demonstration to someone of the weakness of the design compared to a newer model? Being promoted by the sword wielder?
Just a thought...?

Bending of swords, denting of sword blades against rocks or blunt objects, crushing of hemets, hacking at greaves... all these are commontly attested rituals in Iberian burials during the fourth to third centuries BC. Pozo Moro 4 2-F burial is not an exception.
