Eagle-Headed Hilt in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, April 2010
Eagle-headed Hilt
Copper alloy
Byzantine
Made 300-400
Accession Number: 63.185.2
Roman, and later, Byzantine officials carried large swords that terminated in eagle-headed hilts. On this small sword, the hilt has a guard displaying a bust of the goddess Athena. The combination of motifs identifies that work as belonging to someone loyal to the classical heritage.
