Default African (Sahel ?) spear for I.D.
This recent acquisition is a rather unusual spear - does anyone recognise it ? Those spiral elements at the base of the blade, also the indentations to either side of the blade spine, are distinctive. Its quite sturdy and heavy, feels as if it was made for using, rather than just for parade or ceremony.

Comments, references etc are welcome, thanks in advance.
