| Description | Lance dating to the second half of the nineteenth century. Its blade is an elongated triangle of forged iron ground along its edges and fastened into a slot in the cylindrical wood haft with two iron rivets. The haft is wrapped with two areas of red wool on either side of an area wrapped in muskrat fur. All wrappings are bound with leather thongs. A tassel of leather thongs and the remains of bird feathers are attached at the proximal end of the wrapping. A carved ring encircles the butt of the haft. |
