Shona Spear on Ebay

Hi All

Here are some better pics of the spear. Can't really put my finger on what tribe it's from? Shaft is rattan. Someone suggested the spear could be Matabele? It could also be Ngoni but it's a tuff call? The spear Artzi sold has similar construction and length.

Well a friend sent me some pics from AMNH that shows a Ngoni spear and it's pretty much a match to mine.
