Hi Evgeny,


Assuming a production for this spear head in Ancient Times is of course possible, especially when you take into consideration the finely wrought pronounced central rib of the blade, as well as the fact that the Renaissance just repeated the ancient forms.
It was only not with sufficient authority on my side that I could have pleaded for such an early period of origin.


Best,
Michael
