Long shaft
Shaft & fittings
A long tapered shaft establishes the vertical axis of the emblem.
A trident is a three-pronged implement associated with fishing and with Poseidon in Greek art. The displayed proportions are our interpretation.
Inspect the contours and attachment to adjacent pieces. Separation is an explanatory display, not a claim about ancient construction.
Original Logan Pendragon Forge geometry. Mythological symbolism is documented separately from modern ornament; this is not an archaeological replica.
Head socket and collar
Shaft & fittings
Layered collars connect the shaft to the three-pronged head.
The joining method and ornamental collar are modern design choices.
Inspect the contours and attachment to adjacent pieces. Separation is an explanatory display, not a claim about ancient construction.

Bound handgrip
Shaft & fittings
A contrasting grip marks a plausible holding area along the shaft.
