African spearheads

[Freddy]

I got these two just yesterday. Both spearheads are from the Dogon in Mali. I've seen similar ones in a gallery in Brussels.

One has two copper oval shaped additions to the stem of the spearhead.

The second one, I find interesting as the blade shows some kind of pattern in the metal, especially at the point and at the base of the blade. Could this be considered as some kind of damast ? It's some kind of striped pattern going from the edge of the blade to the centre.

Both pieces are quite sharp.

Length : 57 and 52 cm.
