Default Indeed you are correct

Hi Tim,

Indeed you are correct with the origins, it was collected from the region.

It is a lighter piece but very strong.

I suspect more of a harpoon than a club as the lobes are not on the right angle for any impact advantage, actually I feel they would break with a hard club like strike, you'd be better off with a simple lobe, much stronger and more effective...however, the flared tip near the barbs fits solid and comfortable in the palm of your hand for a good tight grip, with the other hand as a guide this is a super effective stabber....
