Spear holder - howitzer trench art

Bill M · 14th January 2009, 02:28 AM

Just got this piece of trench art at a local antiques fair. It is made from a howitzer shell. about 6 inches in diameter and the shell itself is about 24" long.

The base is solid brass or bronze. Very heavy. Just the thing to display some of my spears. Most of the spears you see are from Papua New Guinea. They are about nine feet long or more.

I had them more evenly arranged until I pulled it out for photos.

Maybe we could have some pictures of interesting displays that other Forum members have?
