Irish Bronze Spear - Spearhead Reproduction Rathgarret

Description

It's a replica of an ancient viking bronze spearhead from Rathgarret, Co. Westmeath.
The spear was the most common weapon of the Scandinavian peasant class. Throwing spears were constantly used by the warrior class; despite popular belief, it was also the principal weapon of the Viking warrior, an apt fit to their formations and tactics. The spear was used both as a throwing weapon and as a thrusting weapon, although there was some specialization in design.
The reconstruction was carried out from the ancient bronze items of that period on the catalogs of the museum.
