I am fascinated by the pattern-welding on this spear. I've only seen similar straight line pattern-welding on the Illerup Adal swords pictured below from vols 11 and 12 of Illerup Adal (and on an early medieval sword in my collection, the authenticity of which I am divided about).
Is pattern-welding like this common on tombaks? Is similar pattern-welding common on other items from a particularly time and place? |
