Underwater archaeologists from Nicolaus Copernicus University have recovered four exceptionally well-preserved medieval spears from Lake Lednica in western Poland, including one ornately decorated weapon that may have belonged to a duke or high-ranking warrior of the early Polish state. The discoveries, dating from the turn of the 10th and 11th centuries, offer remarkable insights into the elite warrior culture of the Piast dynasty and the craftsmanship of medieval weaponsmiths. Among the finds is a richly adorned spear featuring gold, silver, and bronze decoration with intricate spiral and triskelion motifs, representing one of the most significant medieval weapons ever recovered from Polish waters.
