Persian or Ottoman Lance ?
Greetings fellow collectors,
I was wondering if anyone may be able to shed some light on this 20 inch gold damascened lancehead.
Based on its form, does it seem more prone to have been Persian, Syrian, Ottoman, or even Mughal?
The closest example I could find was an old pre Qajar Persian one.
It is very solid, not flexible or delicate, like some of the thinner Wootz Qajar lances. This is pointy and made for serious battle play.
Any thoughts would be most truly appreciated.
Thanks.
