	With a small spearhead socketed to the end of a pole, the spontoon is reminiscent of a spear or more precisely a [[harpoon]]. It is distinguished by an elaborate pole which, unlike that of spears, is not merely a wooden shaft. Instead, it is typically thicker than the dimensions of the spearhead itself, and in one model prevalent in [[Paris]] during the [[French Revolution]], lacquered in black and adorned with [[ivory]] bands. In this model, the base from which sprung the spearhead was similarly fashioned from ivory, and an ornately carved, white pommel adorned the base of the pole. As a weapon that also doubled as an implement of authority and command, the spontoon conferred prestige to its bearer, hence its often exquisite design. Despite being a long weapon, it is also short enough to be wielded in one hand.<ref name="ACU">''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]''</ref>		With a small spearhead socketed to the end of a pole, the spontoon is reminiscent of a spear or more precisely a {{Wiki\|harpoon}}.
