NAUE II depictions after 500 BC?
#1
As we all know the basic design of the NAUE II sword was used for a very long time, from the Bronze Age into the Iron Age with the blades transitioning from bronze to iron of course.

I'm looking for any pottery depictions of a NAUE II type sword on Greek pottery AFTER 500 BC. Just Greek please.

Below is a piece in the Louvre that appears to depict a NAUE II in Red Figure (very rare) although the depiction of the sword guard is a bit off. It's dated to 510 BC, but could be later as the attributed painter lived until 475 BC.

A quick Google search yields many NAUE II depictions such as these, but these Black Figure examples are all before 500 BC.
