A lousy image, i would say

These lengthy things are rather hard to picture ... at least for my mediocre photographic capacities

.
The total length is 2,73 mt.; already a challenge for my living room height.
The haft cross section is square in the half meter next to the head and the rest is octogonal.

Fine images and fine setting as well - cool!

Ca. 1580, as I supposed.

Thanks for sharing this nice piece,
