Descrizione

A spear (old-fashioned: lance) is a throwing, thrusting, or thrusting-cutting polearm.

Russian warrior of the 15th-16th centuries. Lithograph from "Historical Description of the Clothing and Armament of Russian Troops" by A.V. Viskovatov (1841).
Spears come in two types: throwing spears (darts) and close-combat spears. A standard spear consists of a wooden shaft and a metal tip, the shape of which can be very diverse.

The spear is a symbol of belligerence, aggressive activity (in Norse mythology, Odin, throwing a spear in the direction of the enemy army, initiated the first war between the gods), and also a phallic symbol. The latter meaning can be illustrated by the Vedic cosmogonic myth of the churning of the ocean of milk with a spear or the Orphic narrative of the world egg being broken by a spear. The Ugaritic deity of thunder and fertility, Baal, is depicted with a lightning spear striking the earth (another image of the erotic union of the two principles). The spear of Indra, the Hindu god of war, serves as an emblem of victory. In China, the spear is an attribute of many minor gods.

The spear is one of the symbols of the cosmic axis.
