An ancient weapon, lances were used in battle from foot and horseback. The shaft was 6-8 feet long. The heads were made of iron, stone, or just a pointed tip. With the arrival of guns they were abandoned as weapons and became ceremonial objects. They would be highly decorated with feathers, fur, and beads and carried in society dances.
