Mysterious sword
This sword from the « tales of earthsea » has been haunting me since I saw the movie, where does this sword design comes from ? I searched and I found its kind of German inspired, tho not sure about that I could be totally wrong. Please help me find out. Thanks !

There's probably others out there that for a lot more closely but I personally am reminded of the Kirkburn sword. An iron age weapon from Yorkshire that dates back to 200-300 BC.
Honestly not sure if it's intentional on the artists part but it reads as a vaguely iron age weapon.
