Ca. 1000-1200 AD. Viking Age. An iron spearhead with leaf-shaped, lentoid-section blade with a slightly raised midrib and 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. For more information on Viking spears, see Petersen, J. (1919). De Norske Vikingesverd. Kristiania & Hubbard, B. (2016) The Viking Warrior. London: Amber Books Ltd, 216-218. Size: L:312mm / W:43mm ; 275g. Provenance: Property of an Oxfordshire art professional; previously in an old British collection, formed in the 1990s on the UK / International art markets.
