The Omani Spear.

Salaams Richard G ... This is probably the first and only example of a spear used in the badge of office role in Arabia... That marking the carrier Sheikh Abdullah as the local chief.

Tribal name ~ You would need to look at Wadi Hatib and likely in the area of Jabir... Yemen.

ok thnx. I think this is around Lahij. The Tribe of Yafa live there. (upper & lower Yafa). They are bare-chested tribesmen and are almost the same as pre-Islamic times.
