Nice looking piece - but I doubt if it is African. Has an Indian look to it, or failing that, South-East Asia somewhere.
Regards. |

I agree with Colin. Its not really saying African to me. The rounded, bulbous parts of the spear shaft and the wire seem to point towards India?

A strange item indeed.
Based purely on the timber, I would say East Indian, only in that many Naga spears have the same timber. Gavin |

The butt spike is very Indian and the timber appears to be black palm...
 , not something typically seen on an African spear....Gavin |
