Not a Zulu assegai - so what is it?
Greetings folks,
A friend took this picture in Ripley's Believe or Not Museum. It is attributed to the Zulu as the stabbing spear, assegai, that they used. However, I have seen assegai's used for stabbing and this is not it (if I am wrong, please correct me). To me the shape of the shaft is all wrong as well as the length and shape of the spear head.
So what African tribe and what type of spear is it?
Many thanks in advance.
