About this work

Model of a large pike, rounded at the front, with two longitudinal and two cross-shrouds underneath and clamps on top. The pike floor is closed and reinforced with musket triggers, radially around the soldier's hole. On either side of the soldier's hole is a small hatch. If the clamps and cross-shrouds are removed, the pike can be disassembled into two halves.
