Thank you for your reply, Tim.
I'll pass on this information.
The braiding is of a higher quality than I have seen before, and it had me wondering. I'll look up Shona Braiding.
Attached another image or two, of where the shank enters the shaft.
Can you give any indication of age?
Also, I'd never seen the butt spike on an African spear. Is this common?
Thanks again Tim, your reply is much appreciated!!
Richard.
