rogatina

A bear spear was a medieval type of spear used in hunting for bears and other large animals, such as boars. The sharpened head of a bear spear was enlarged and usually took the form of a bay leaf. Right under the head there was a short crosspiece that helped limit the penetration of the spear into the body of an animal and keep it at a distance from the hunter.
