Various staff weapons invented by the Indo-Persian to equip foot soldiers. The fourth spear-like object with the loop handguard from the left is a saintie.

The saintie is an Indo-Persian parrying spear. It is a staff weapon that can be used both for offensive and defensive purposes. They have been produced since the 16th century and were used up to the 19th century. The use of saintie is extremely scarce today.[1]
