A spear with a wooden shaft and a narrow, double-ribbed iron spearhead. At the end of the shaft, there is an iron spiral. A socket that is decorated with an incised line pattern splices shaft and spearhead. The blade is narrow, rhombic in the middle and ends in a thin tip.
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.
