A Spear with a crookedly grown, ribbed wooden shaft and with a long iron pike. The tapering blade has a slight midrib and is on a long stem that ends in a narrow socket. The socket 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.
