Viking Thrusting Spear

The decorated spearheads demonstrate the Viking’s creative use of intricate patterns, created using the “Niello” process. This involved using an alloy of several metals (notably silver) mixed with sulfur which was rubbed into an incised pattern and then fired. Where the alloy is rubbed into the engraving, it remains black while the rest of the surface is polished to a bright finish. Hanwei's decorating process provides a lustrous, permanent Niello-like effect. Each spearhead has a shaft diameter of 1”. Spearheads only are supplied. Note: This spear head is cast hollow, and therefore not suitable for functional use. It is ideal, however for re-enactment/living history costuming and displaying.
