Description
Ca. 1000–1200 AD. Viking Age. An iron spearhead with a leaf-shaped blade, sharp edges flaring halfway through the blade before tapering to a pointed tip, and a long flared socket. Good condition, custom-made stand included. Spears were an important component of Viking military equipment as their lightweight nature meant they could be used both in hand-to-hand combat and as a thrown weapon.
