Javelin

Spear with a curved, fluted wooden shaft with a long iron point. The tapered blade has a slight ridge and sits on a long shaft that ends in a narrow socket. The socket is bent around the shaft and open on one side. The country of origin could not be clearly determined. However, the shape and material of the spear suggest an African origin. The museum received the spear from Margarethe Mader; the exact provenance is not known.
