RecordHalberd blade< 1 of 1 > Back probably from Assich, Croy, Moray
Halberd bladeBronze Age halberds were dagger-like objects mounted at right angles to the haft. This bronze blade for a halberd was probably found at Assich near Croy in Moray, but perhaps at Asslich in Inverness-shire. It dates from around 2300 to 2000 BC. The broad blade has a rounded midrib. There are four rivet holes, three now broken, at the curved butt where it attached to the haft. 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.
