Nothing wrong with brass ceremonial spears. In my opinion these are sub-Saharan so they can still be technically North African. What a pity the original halft has been damaged. On this one you can see the wear to the halft end where it has been stomping on the ground. These would be items that belonged to people of stature in the community. I would happily take more if you could find then complete. If they came from other parts of the world I am sure they would be rather too expensive.
