Default A humble rustic lance head

Found right there on the ground, when my friend passed by an old track, driving his tractor, in a little interior village, in the north of the country.
Probably someone found it somewhere else (a child?) and left it in its new location, so visible .
The blade measures 22 cms (close to 9").
It has the looks of an old thing (XVII century?), not only due to its excavated and rusty condition, but also because of its rusticity.
Certainly an approach to a local defence lance head, i would say .
BTW, we don't use the term 'spear' over here; lance is the generic term.

Coments will be so much welcome ... even if disappointing
