Just to add, the alphabet pictured above does not include characters that represent syllables. You can find a much more complete version here.

Nece. Yeah those are from Ethiopia. I've got a few heads of this type from an eBay seller from there back in the golden days of ebay

Thanks for the website werecow; I'll get back to you when I translate the writing on my spear........in about a 100 years, LOL. I think I'll have better luck trying to find an Ethiopian to read the inscription.
I remember the good old days of Ebay myself; my nemesis was Mr.Tincan.We chased each other all over the website for the same items; we cost each other a small fortune.
