EUROPEAN CROSSBOW WITH ARIES FIGURE 15TH CENTURY MIDDLE AGES (2F/A.01)

European shoulder crossbow typical of the first half of the 15th century. The holder is made of national hard fiber wood decorated with floral motifs. On the back, behind the walnut snap, a ram's head is carved in the round, with not only decorative functions. In fact, the zoomorphic figures obtained in this particular position provided support to the shooter for greater stability. The rope, made of woven hemp threads, is attached to the pointed ends of the steel bow, covered with leather trim. Bracket, trigger, front sight and sight table are in burnished metal. It comes with a wooden dart equipped with a metal tip and fins made from natural feather.

The maximum range is about 20 meters, but the shot lacks precision as this crossbow is built mostly for ornamental reasons.
