A very nice good quality pair of Persian lances or spears, with double forked blades each.

Both heads are mounted on wooden shafts with metallic tassels below the blades, and velvet padded grips in the shaft centres. 19th century, overall good condition, some corrosion loss to small areas of collars, one blade slightly warped. 187 cms long
