A Spear with a crookedly grown wooden shaft. The end of the shaft is wrapped with an iron spiral. The spearhead is fixed to the shaft by a socket that is open on one side. The blade of the pike has a rhombic form, a midrib and a little tip resp. a hook on the three angles.
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.
