Philippine Spear

oeps, sorry Willem. My mistake.

For the moment, I can't find a good pic of a Congolese harpoon spear. So I took a scan and some pics of a harpoon arrow in my collection.

The total length of this piece is 129 cm. This is an implement used for hunting, but just look at the beautifully forged iron arrowhead.

Look at the cord attachment. It resembles the one shown by ligpo2001. The arrowhead is loose and fits over the shaft.

Ligpo2001, how is your spearpoint fixed to the shaft ?
