Halberd.Halberds acquired a more ceremonial function by the late 16th century. The spike changed from a solid, four-sided point, ideal for stabbing, into a flat blade, while the axe head became fuller in outline. These larger areas were well suited to openwork decoration. The crossed anchors and the letters A on this halberd refer to the Admiralty of Amsterdam.
