"Weapons" is an anonymous iron spearhead, likely from the late 16th century, housed in the Rijksmuseum. It is a simple yet functional object, with a sharp point and a ring for attaching a rope or cord. Its rugged texture and weathered appearance speak to its past use, perhaps in hunting or warfare. The spearhead is a reminder of the importance of weaponry in the past and the artistry involved in its creation, even in an object designed for practicality.
Comments
Naturally, Barentsz’s ship and his crew were well armed. They had to be able to repel pirates, European rivals and potentially hostile Asian ships. On Nova Zembla the men used the weapons chiefly to defend themselves from aggressive polar bears.
