Javelin

Spear with a wooden shaft and a narrow iron point with a double ridge. The end of the shaft is wrapped with an iron spiral. A socket decorated with an incised line pattern connects the shaft and point. The blade is narrow, diamond-shaped in the centre and ends in a thin point. 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 Margarete Mader; the exact provenance is not known.
