Description

Central / Northern Europe, Celtic Iron Age, ca. 2nd century BCE to 1st century CE. A large iron spear head with a narrow, conical socket. A broad, flat midrib rises from the socket to the tip of the blade. Iron blades were hammered into shape.

Size: 2.1" W x 20.25" H (5.3 cm x 51.4 cm); 21.35" H (54.2 cm) on included custom stand.
