I'd guess Chinese as well. Seen a number of variations of these trident type polearms in China.

I took a look through Stones and found a Chinese and a Korean trident however neither of them were similar and they were both socketed.

I think the points on the sides are a little odd ,could you post a closer pic of where they connect to the rest of the head?I think this could tell us several things about your trident.

I've seen this particular trident before, but I can't recall where. Was this a Timonium in the past? Have we discussed it?




I'm off to search the archives...

Cool

I think that's it, Manny! Thanks. That was really bothering me.


Unfortunately, I don't think we're any further in our understanding of this piece than we were a few years ago.
