During the Migration Period, people engraved iron swords primarily using techniques such as etching and inlaying. They would often carve designs into the blade using tools or by employing a process called acid etching, where an acid solution would eat away at the iron to create patterns. Additionally, inlaying involved setting materials like gold or silver into the engraved designs, enhancing both the aesthetic and symbolic value of the swords. These techniques reflected the craftsmanship and artistry of the time, often signifying status and identity among warriors.
