Bouranton dagger – miniature reproduction with carbon steel blade and olive wood grip, resting on pale wool

Bouranton Dagger

Miniature reproduction after Rapin (2000) – c. 400 BCE

Miniature reproduction after A. Rapin (2000). Found at Bouranton (Aube, France) in a warrior's grave, this piece is unusual in carrying features of both the first and second Iron Ages. I hope one day to reproduce it at full scale, together with its scabbard and its remarkable belt and suspension system.
