Samurai Mounted on Horse with Spear. By the middle of the Civil War era (Gempei wars, 1180-1185), the mochi-yari (spear) had replaced the bow as the mounted Samurai's principal weapon. From horseback, the yari was normally used as an impaling weapon. If it failed to penetrate the enemy's armor, it could also be used to knock him to the ground where he could be finished off with a sword. Made from cold cast bronze with hand painted details, 12.5"H x 7"W x 3"D.
