Unique Viking Iron Arrow Tip

[ translate ]

**First Time At Auction**

Northern Europe, Viking culture, ca. 800 to 1100 CE. A thin tang with a diamond shaped blade, flat, with the interior cut away. Circular cuts along the edges in the four corners add a geometric flair to this piece. Perhaps the interior held in place flaming material; the iron tip would ensure puncturing and spreading fiery destruction when fired into the enemy ranks. This is a stunning spear tip, radiant and a unique design! Size: 5.625" L x 1.875" W (14.3 cm x 4.8 cm)

Provenance: ex-Estate of Eldert Bontekoe, Pegasi Numismatics, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA acquired before 2000
