An authentic iron spearhead dating back to the Viking Age, circa 10th century AD, recovered from Scandinavia. The leaf-shaped blade was designed to penetrate chainmail and thick clothing, making it a formidable weapon of war. Despite lying in the ground for over a millennium, it retains its solid structure, having been professionally stabilized. The socket shows the skill of the Norse blacksmiths in forging weapons that were both durable and deadly. This artifact offers a direct link to the legendary sagas and the warriors who shaped early medieval Europe.
