Medieval Iron Caltrop Anti-Cavalry Group
15th century A.D.Sold for (Inc. bp): £468
Comprising thirteen caltrops, hand-forged with square-section spikes. 423 grams total, 82-90 mm
From the private collection of a London gentleman, from his grandfather's collection formed before the early 1970s.
P. Žákovský has been able to classify medieval caltrops, mainly from 13th to 15th century A.D., on the basis of their morphology, into four main typologies, each with different variants. Caltrops with single-pointed spikes, whose interpretation, however, is often ambiguous belong to type I. The other three types represent classic four-pointed caltrops, and individual types in this group differ from one another just in their cross-section. -
