Description
Northwestern Europe, England, Anglo-Saxon / Viking culture, Medieval period, ca. 8th to 13th century CE. A collection of iron tools and weapons from the Middle Ages of Europe, likely discovered in open fields or waterways - a heavy patina envelopes the surfaces of each. Included is a socketed spear head, a long knife blade, a shorter blade, a triangular chape for the end of a sheath, and a wrought hook, perhaps once the handle to a utensil. Fittingly, the name "Anglo Saxon" comes from seax, a type of small sword or knife they often carried. Size of spear: 9.25" L x 1.2" W (23.5 cm x 3 cm)
