Ca. 1000-1200 AD
An iron spear head with a leaf-shaped blade, raised midrib, sharp edges flaring slightly before tapering to a pointed tip, and long flared socket. Good condition.
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. For more information on Viking spears, see:
Petersen, J. (1919). De Norske Vikingesverd.
Kristiania & Hubbard, B. (2016) The Viking Warrior. Amber Books Ltd, London, 216-218.
Size: L:345mm / W:32mm ; 280g
Provenance: Private Oxfordshire collection; Formerly acquired on the European art market from pre-2000 collections.
