Trisula of unknown origin

Thanks for the additional info Michael. Hopefully Boedhi will join us again soon as his posts have always been interesting and informative.
Regardless of origin you do, in my humbly uninformed opinion, have a rather nice trisula there. It would be very nice to bring the stain back up if you have the means.

Thanks David,

I like it too but I understand from those with more knowledge that it's a rather plain Trisula.
I have also been told that the spearpoint material isn't the best to stain.
But I still find it exciting and interesting to study and learn more about.

Yes, like you Michael, i know little about these, but i'm sure i would not throw that one in the trash if it arrived on my doorstep.

I have seen much more decorated pieces, many with beatiful gold work, so i guess yours is a bit on the plain side. As for staining, it does look like it once was stained. If you have the option, i would try to stain it to see what it will look like.
