hi all.
is it an african spear? thanks |
dimensions
total 42,5 cm.
blade 26 cm galvano |
What does the other end look like?
|
The blade is quite similar to one pictured on pg. 55 fig. 31 of Tirri's book.
Given as "Taureg", a "Tarda" ....... :shrug: |
I think it is African for sure. As Rick suggests the north of the continent. I have this one of very similar design. The difference is this one has a bamboo type halft. The blade has a midrib, there is also a wrap of metal at the other end. The rounded base of the blade has not been ground? as in your spear. I have reason to believe my spear is from N. Sudan and lands east to Somalia.

hi all
A the other end, it has nothing there.
I think that wood is not origin. |
I cannot see from your picture but the swelling of the halft around the centre might suggest that it was made for the blade. To get a good grip.
