Hi All,
Here are a couple of spear heads that I recently acquired. I think they are possibly Sudanese but that's just a guess. Any help and information on them would be greatly appreciated.

Hard to be 100% certain but I think you may well be right. It looks recent? I like the black on white.

THIS SORT OF SPEAR HEAD IS DIFFICULT TO PIN DOWN AS IT IS THE SORT YOU CAN BUY AT THE LOCAL HARDWARE STORE IN MANY COUNTRIES AND MAKE YOUR OWN SPEAR. UNLESS YOU KNOW WHERE THEY ARE FORGED OR IMPORTED FROM ITS DIFFICULT AS THEY MAY BE EXPORTED OR LOCAL MADE ITEMS. THEY ONLY BECOME ETHINOGRAPHIC AND BELONG TO A TRIBE WHEN A WARRIOR MAKES A SPEAR FROM IT AND PERSONALIZES IT. JUST MY TWO CENTS WORTH. IF THEY WERE MINE I WOULD MAKE A COUPLE OF SPEARS AND HAVE FUN PRACTICING MY SPEAR CHUNKING. :D

Yes, I think they are fairly new and they do seem well made and usable. I was just hoping that the style would be identifiable as to location of manufacture or use.
Thanks,
