Status symbol? Parade use? Movie prop? Piece of art? It does not seem to have been produced as a weapon.

My feeling is that it is Africa, I can't say anything more precise yet. The item does not give the impression of being a souvenir for tourists, it is too complicated, although the work is primitive. African souvenirs are simpler and usually copy or reproduce examples of cold weapons of local tribes. Moreover, no analogues have been found yet. African tribes used unusual items during celebrations and various rituals. |

At Oriental-Arms, Artzi Yarom once sold a spear, he assigned it to India.
There are some similarities, but the design is completely different, the part is removable. http://www.oriental-arms.co.il/photos.php?id=6774 |

Thanks Bob for the description. My guess is that it's Africa, but I can't determine which region yet. Best regards, Yuri |
