Archaeologists discovered a Celtic necropolis from the second Iron Age filled with metal artifacts. The swastika decorations found on one sword originate from Celtic tradition. And recently, archaeologists in France discovered two sheathed swords in a Celtic necropolis from about 2,300 years ago—one of which features small swastika decorations on the copper scabbard. Gemstones embellished the outside of the richly decorated sheath, and at least two of those decorations feature the swastika symbol. The team found 18 brooches made of copper or iron, with the most impressive featuring a gemstone and silver leaf motif.
