Thanks you. But what about the names of this weapons? Simply shield, club, axe? Or is there a special term?

And one more question: they used the bow? And what firearms they use in XIX - early XX century?
Today this warriors use AK-47, Mossin rifle, SKS and MG-3.

Viewing photos and a couple of issues of "Tribe" with Bruce Perry, I came to the conclusion:
Spear of the Omo Valley had a long and wide blade, like many other African spears. However, their staff is very thin .. Spear used for close combat and for throwing. The average length varied from 1.5 to 2 meters. Sometimes on the opposite side of the blade was Drift pin.
Right?
