Mysterious sword

[u/bazzismenace]

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 !

Looks like it's a cross between a La Tene style sword and a Jian

Yea I always got the sense that it was meant to feel like a relic from an ancient time
