Javelin

A spike-handled spear with a leather safety winding. The blade is very roughly forged. The shaft has an iron spear shoe, which is secured by a strong wire winding. Provenance: Africa (?). The object belongs to the estate of the senior general physician Georg Wilke (*1859 Dresden +1938 Rochlitz), which initially went to the teaching collection of the Rochlitz secondary school after his death and was transferred to the collection of Rochlitz Castle in the 1960s.
