			This is an amazing spear, surely the largest and longest I have seen and a fantastic find - and so wonderfully complete! I will be interested to learn if the inscription can be deciphered. Hopefully there is some useful information there, but I had the thought - without the expertise to back it up - that these engravings might possibly also be 'nonsense' Arabic such as was sometimes seen in European Renaissance arms. |
