Masai Spear and Sword
Hello Everyone, uncovered these two recently and am posting them for interest and?or comment.
The spear has quite a long narrow blade, 43 ins including socket x 1.75 ins at widest point and has a central rib. the iron spike end is 35.5 ins including socket and the wooden handle is 4 ins long making a total length of 82.5 ins.
The sword ( Seme) has an O/L of 23 ins and a blade length of 17.5 ins varying from 0.875 ins to 2.125 ins in width with a central ridge.
The scabbard is leather and together with the hilt is coloured red.
thank you.
