The Spear

The Spear is a traditional weapon designed for thrusting or throwing, typically featuring a long shaft and a pointed tip. Throughout history, it has been used by various cultures for hunting and warfare. Spears can vary in design, from simple wooden poles to more complex metal-tipped weapons. In addition to physical use, the spear often symbolizes strength, protection, and focus in literature and art. In modern contexts, it also appears in sports, such as javelin throw, where athletes compete by throwing a spear-like implement for distance.
