A lousy image, i would say
 These lengthy things are rather hard to picture ... at least for my mediocre photographic capacities  .The total length is 2,73 mt.; already a challenge for my living room height. The haft cross section is square in the half meter next to the head and the rest is octogonal. . |

Ca. 1580, as I supposed. Thanks for sharing this nice piece, Michl |
