Leaf-Shaped Bronze Swords and a Flint Blade
Four long swords with differing handles are arranged beside a broad chipped stone blade. The sword labels name Ireland, Sweden, Switzerland and Denmark, while the stone example is identified with America. Donnelly places the weapons together in Atlantis: The Antediluvian World. The comparison makes their leaf-like outlines visible while retaining the differing materials and stated origins.
