Item Details
Description
Latin America, Mexico, Spanish Colonial Period, ca. 17th to 18th century CE. A collection of 9 forged iron lance and spear heads, each bearing a conical socketing shaft on the bottom or a thick tang.

A wonderful patina envelops each of these fine examples! Size (largest blade): 15.125" L x 2.125" W (38.4 cm x 5.4 cm)
