👉 The greater winged dart, also known as the greater spear dart or greater winged spear, is a specialized hunting weapon from ancient times, particularly associated with the Scythians and other nomadic cultures of Eurasia. This weapon features a distinctive design where the dart's shaft is significantly longer and more slender than typical darts, with a sharp point and often a barbed or serrated tip to enhance its lethality. Its primary function was for hunting large game, such as horses and deer, but it could also be used in combat. The greater winged dart's unique shape and construction allowed it to penetrate thick hides and deliver a fatal blow, making it a formidable tool in the hands of skilled hunters and warriors.
