A wonderfully decorative object which once was was a very important tool.
During the 19th Century eel fishing was a popular industry, with eels being a delicacy in many parts of the world. Hand forged wrought iron spears, such as this one were used to hunt in shallow rivers. Nowadays, thankfully the practice has stopped but we are left with these beautiful decorative objects. Each one completely unique and individual to the craftsman that made it.
