Note du spécialiste

Compare the present lot with an example in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art (acc. no. 2001.180), illustrated by D. LaRocca in Warriors of the Himalayas: Rediscovering the Arms and Armor of Tibet, New Haven, 2006, no. 77; both the present example and the Metropolitan spear are similarly decorated on the blade with flame motifs.
