Bent Sword (1)

The armament of Germanic warriors included iron swords as well as lances and spears. This weaponry was given to the deceased in the grave. Occasionally the weapons were bent beforehand. Presumably, they were intentionally made unusable, which is obviously based on the idea of "revenants".
