Hi, I bought this spear in an antique shop the other week. I'm currently studying Conservation and Restoration and need as much help as I can get to try and identify it.
I have found through tests etc that the head is iron, the staff is cane and the wire that is bound around it is galvanised zinc. I've emailed alot of African provinces but many of them don't know anything about it. When I bought it, it was labelled a 'fish spear' although I personally don't believe that due to the size of the hooks on the edge of the spearhead. I have attached the photos If anyone can help I would appreciate it VERY much!!! Thank you. Kate |
