Boar Spear, 15th century - Public domain dedication museum photo

description

Summary

Public domain photo of a 3d object, Europe, free to use, no copyright restrictions image - Picryl description

It is relatively short and heavy and has two "lugs" or "wings" on the spearsocket behind the blade, which act as a barrier to prevent the spear from penetrating too deeply into the quarry where it might get stuck or break, and to stop an injured and furious boar from working its way up the shaft of the spear to attack the hunter.
