Hoard
![A sword with a nearly spherical pommel. The grip is attached to the blade with a semicircle decorated with raised dots. Two axes, one with a flat circular handle and the other with a claw-like handle. The arm-guard is formed by a narrow rectangular band that curves at one end to form a circle ending in a small spiral, and at the other end to form a tight spiral.](https://isaw.nyu.edu/exhibitions/ritual-and-memory/objects/hoard-apa/@@images/a03da591-229b-40f3-93e4-91768326e6d1.jpeg)
