Created in Germany between the years 1400 and 1500, this exquisite artifact remains shrouded in mystery as its creator is unknown. The lance, meticulously crafted from steel and wood linden, stands as a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of European armorers during the fifteenth century. Its close-up reveals intricate details such as rivets that hold together this formidable weapon. As an emblem of warfare and chivalry, jousting held great significance in German culture at that time.
