Javelin

The square forged tip of the blade merges into a slotted cylindrical socket. The end of the shaft is wrapped in finely tanned leather, which is sewn together with a thin leather band with cross-stitching. Origin: Africa (?). The object belongs to the estate of the senior general practitioner 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.
