The Bohemian earspoon (German Böhmischer Ohrlöffel or Knebelspiess, Czech ušatá sudlice) is a polearm featuring a long, broad, socketed spearhead with two out-turned lugs at the base of the head, forming a guard similar to that of a boar spear.[1] Derived ultimately from the early medieval lugged spear, the earspoon developed in the 14th century. Its use was not confined to Central Europe. It was used for both hunting and military purposes.
