Default Throwing spear, Sudan?

Such spearheads have already been discussed on the forum. This is a short spear from my collection.

Specifications:
Total length – 690 mm, tip length – 415 mm

The wooden shaft is covered with the skin of a Nile monitor lizard; it can be assumed that the spear is from the Blue and White Nile regions.

I'd be glad to hear your comments.

Hi Yuri,

Nice and interesting spear! Have a look here: https://african-weapons.com//gallery?african-spears It's the site I use when I want to identify something from Africa. Special when it comes to spears!

Regards,
Detlef

Hi Detlef, thanks!

I know about this site, but there are no copies with such handles.

You can see something similar here:

Yes, but only when it comes to the shaft.

When it comes to the spearhead I see some similarity with this one from the Dinka people. https://african-weapons.com//gallery...on-point-41-cm
