Halberd

Bronze Stabdolch (similar to a halberd) with a broad blade, thicker in the middle, set flush in a separately cast shaft with an oval neck and held in place by three cone-shaped rivets. Six bands of herringbone ornament adorn the shaft. Stabdolche, dagger blades attached to poles at a right angle, were hardly suitable as weapons, and most likely served as status symbols for the ruling class.
