I've had this African spear (Luba?)for sometime and realize I know very little about it. Its a little over 5ft O.A. Thats iron wraped around the shaft. Whats the deal with the paint on the blade? Something done by the native owner or a collector? What group of people does this belong to? Period of manufacture? Look forward to your comments.
