Thank you Vandoo and RomaRama for the additional information and comments. The carved 'end' seems to have been regularly handled, judging by the 'patina'......and would estimate that it is probably mid 20thc onwards. It seems that the spear head and stick were 'mated' sometime ago. Whether this was 'tribally done' or not, I do not know, Perhaps it was an 'invention born from necessitity', a spear head fitted to a Fimbo for self protection or the protection of cattle from ...say....snakes. Or as an 'interesting' item to sell to tourists.
If the latter.....it worked, as I too found it 'interesting'.
