Description

A spear with a slight crookedly grown wooden shaft with a long metal pike. The blade has a slight midrib. A long, thin stem is attached to the blade. The stem ends in a narrow socket that is bent around the shaft and open on one side.

The country of origin could not be determined clearly. Form and material of the spear, however, are indicative of an African origin. The museum obtained the spear from Margarete Mader, further details concerning the provenance are not known.
