Sword drawn by Chelsea age 10

Drawing by Chelsea age 10 and writing by Taiyba age 8

This sword would have been a very expensive item for an Anglo-Saxon. They would have carried it in a scabbard suspended from a belt - called a baldric. It would hang on the left side since most Anglo-Saxons would have used a sword in their right hand.
