Product description
According to archaeological finds from the La Tene period, the spear was the favorite weapon of the Celts next to the sword. In the 19th century, approximately 2,500 objects were discovered at the La Tene site on Lake Neuchatel in Switzerland, one of the best-known sites for artifacts from the La Tene culture, including numerous well-preserved spearheads. This site also gave its name to the later pre-Roman Iron Age, covering the period from about 480 to 15 BC. includes. The original finds can now be found in museums all over the world. This replica spearhead is inspired by these original finds from the La Tene period. What is special about it is the wavy spear blade that gradually tapers towards the tip. Two drilled holes allow mounting on a wooden shaft of your choice to create your own Celtic spear. Please note: delivery does not include handle and mounting materials.
