Just ended. Looks like an old Shona spear?

When you get it, you will be in a good position to tell us :)
I guess you may have enough African stuff by now to start another Zulu war :)
Bayete!

Hi All

Here are some better pics of the spear. Can't really put my finger on what tribe it's from? Shaft is rattan. Someone suggested the spear could be Matabele? It could also be Ngoni but it's a tuff call? The spear Artzi sold has similar construction and length.

Well a friend sent me some pics from AMNH that shows a Ngoni spear and it's pretty much a match to mine.
