I rarely see these compared to the examples I show .

Hello Rick,

It would be just a guess when I should say it is archaic.
But Lee's example looks very old and different....maybe somebody else can enlighten us?

I don't know much about okir design and region, but maybe there is somebody able to tell anything about the region when looking at the okir design on the silver shaft? (Battara maybe?)

Nice spear head.

The silver shaft can be fixed partly I think.
Than it would be a (even more) attactive piece
