			This is an interesting item that I don't know exactly where it originated or its purpose.  I think it is tribal given the decorations.  The ferrule has a familiar shape to me.  It is made of lead.  The wood is dense and hard and the iron spade or chisel is probably European or American trade iron.  Looking forward to thoughts on this unusual item.
