Synopsis

This page shows an image of a hilt collar and a hilt. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. There is a side view of a hilt collar in the top of the page and a sword hilt in an image border in the bottom of the page. The side view of a hilt collar shows decorations of garnet set in a ring of gold. There are three bands of decorations going horizontally across the image. The top band is made of two lines of shapes which interlock. The shapes in the top line are all very similar. The shapes in second line are also very similar to each other. The second middle band is much wider and is formed by several convoluted broken lines which interweave. The third band is like first band but mirrored so that the first line of shapes in the top band becomes the bottom line in the bottom band. The diagram at the bottom of the page shows a sword hilt and the very top part of the sword blade at the bottom of the image. An arrow points to the position of the collar in the sword handle. The collar is shown by a bolder line.
