Viking Sword Hilt excavated from Lough Derg, Republic of Ireland dated to the Mid to Late 11th Century on display at the National Museum of Ireland-Archaeology in Dublin

The hilt of this sword betrays Anglo-Scandinavian influences in the pommel and guard however the interlacing patterns an decoration are purely Irish in origin. This decoration is paralleled on the ecclesiastical metal work, from the same period, on the Clonmacnoise crozier and the bell shrine from Glankeen in County Tipperary not far from where this sword was found.

Traces of the wool-lined wooden scabbard, that would have protected the blade when sheathed, have survived on the blade which suggests this sword belonged to someone of high status. The combination of Irish artwork on a Viking sword suggests it belonged to one of the Hiberno-Norse of early Medieval Ireland.
