This is something I picked up yesterday.
First look at the handle. It's made of wood, partially covered with iron band, some nails. Part of this handle also has a braided cord covering. ![]() And now the rest of this piece ! It has a spearblade which can be attributed to the following tribes : Lokele, So, Topeke. But instead of mounting this blade as a spear, it's mounted as a sword. Total length : 71 cm. And a very heavy piece. In the second book of Zirngibl (Seltene Afrikanische Waffen - Rare African Weapons) two similar weapons are shown on page 40. ![]() ![]() ![]() Some time ago, I showed two separate Lokele spear blades. Here is the pic again : ![]() |
