RecordHalberd< 1 of 1 > Back from Galloway
HalberdBronze Age halberds were dagger-like objects mounted at right angles to the haft. This bronze example was found in Galloway. It dates from around 2300 to 2000 BC. The broad blade has a rounded midrib. There are two rivet holes where it attached to the haft. The butt is damaged. Halberds were unambiguous weapons, and clearly served a ceremonial purpose. Over 40 are known from Scotland, varying in shape and size, though most have a midrib and rivet holes. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
