This exceptional decorated warrior stela stood next to the one I posted earlier. Similar iconography with weapons, mirror/shield and personal ornaments. Likely a visible funerary or territorial marker in the landscape. Bronze Age Iberia. #BronzeAge #Prehistory #Archaeology

An intentionally destroyed #BronzeAge #sword found in a burial at Blaubeuren-Asch. Bronze Age weapons deposited in burials were often bent or hacked into pieces before placed into the grave, in this way they 'died' with the owner. Dating 9th century BC. 📷 Landesmuseum Württemberg 🏺
Fragmented remains of a bronze sword laid out on a dark surface, its blade hacked into multiple pieces. The broken segments show long, parallel ridges characteristic of the original blade, along with sections of the hilt and guard.
