Strange African Spear?

Great piece, I agree.
There is a lot of very good books, monographs and thesis on African weapons, especially for Central Africa.Throwing knives, sickled weapons, executions knives are classified in different category.Provenance is known.
No problem.
Even for most of the spears, bows and arrows of Congo.
