AN ITALIAN PARTISAN C.1500
|
|
Item Number: 95-18
This partisan represents the transition from the Gothic lange de bouef and is considered late Gothic in period and form. The iron head has the straight edges of its predecessors with rudimentary base lugs which were used for cutting the reins of an opponents horse. That duel function distinguishes it from earlier forms as a multi use weapon.
Length overall: 89 1/4
Provenance: J. B. Speed Museum, Louisville Kentucky
