RAIRH has produced a good number of sword-blades but their surfaces and edges are so corroded that it is impossible to determine whether they were double- or single-edged. The tang of one of them measures 9 cm and the width of the blade at its widest is 7 cm; its present length including the tang is 31·8 cm. Another fragment of sword-blade is only 15 cm in length. The pieces have been assigned to the 3rd-2nd century B.C.
