Genuine Byzantine iron spear or javelin tip with a bifurcate, leaf-shaped blade and lanceolate profile, dating to the 5th–9th century AD and originating from the region of former Yugoslavia. The blade broadens from the socket into a distinctive double-edged leaf form with a central ridge, tapering to a sharp point.
