Foëne Or Wrought-iron Fishing Harpoon, 19th-century Portuguese Folk Craft

Foëne, or wrought-iron fishing harpoon—a 19th-century Portuguese folk craft

A true testament to the past, this wrought-iron harpoon, known as a “Foëne,” is a product of 19th-century Portuguese folk craftsmanship, used for fishing in ponds and rivers.

This fishing tool was used to catch certain species such as sea bass, carp, and pike; fishermen of that era hunted in shallow rivers dotted with rocks.

This Foëne served its purpose well; today, it is a collector’s item in the realm of folk art and 19th-century fishing.

Fast and careful shipping to France, Europe, and worldwide.
