Zagnol

The image showcases a medieval pole weapon known as a Bec de Corbin or a Zagnol, lying on a marbled floor. The weapon features a long, smooth wooden shaft with a darker band wrapping around its midpoint, enhancing the grip. At one end, it is equipped with a striking head made from metal, designed intricately with ornamental details. The head includes a pointed beak-shaped protrusion suitable for piercing armor, and a flat hammer-like opposite side, intended for bludgeoning. This combination of features made the weapon versatile in historical combat. The craftsmanship reflects both the utilitarian and artistic aspects typical of medieval weaponry.
