Description: Large steel triangular blade with a very thick reinforced point, running into a triangular medial rib with a V formed by single incised lines at the base. There is evidence of a brazed join between the blade and the socket, which is plain except for two double incised lines in the region of the brazed join by the blade, and two more with a flared rim at the base. There is a hint of a brazed join down one side. The steel is pitted where is has been heavily corroded then polished bright. A fragment of the original wooden haft survives inside the socket | Format: | text/html | License: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/terms.htm | Publisher: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Rights holder: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Subjects: | Unknown spearhead weapons | Temporal: | name=15th century; start=1400; end=1500 | Source: | Fitzwilliam Museum | Creator: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Identifier: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/opacdire... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
