石矛:19×4.5×2.1 cm. 石鐓:11.2×2.1 cm.


戰國時代的越國常常有石質仿銅兵器,有些石料經過檢測,是產於浙江臨安的地開石,與昌化雞血石是同一種石材。迄今已發現多件越王石矛,又有石戈、石劍、石鐸等。可根據銘文確定年代的,有兩件越王州句石劍格、一件越王不光石矛,已見前述。其餘年代不可考定者,銘文常有「戉王」二字,董珊釋讀石矛為:
石矛:戉(越)丩王,戉(越)丩王。
曹錦炎《鳥蟲書通考》引用1972年浙江省紹興縣上窀出土,現藏紹興市文物管理處。銘文在矛身中脊兩側,現存4字,重文各1。該石矛因上部殘斷,失去2字,但據文義可以補出,應為「戊」字。首尾兩字釋讀與董珊相同,釋文「戉王」,中間㠯字寫法很接近越王大子矛銘文。㠯即台,讀爲嗣,因此釋讀為「戊台王」,即「越嗣王」。
此石矛雖非實用之器,但根據銘文也可佐證越國有嗣王制度,從史料價值看彌足珍貴。
