Shaft of a short spear

The bamboo shaft contains a continuous hole in its front growth segment for fastening the blade with a rivet. The last grown segment contains a straight-ended sleeve made of a copper alloy as a spear shoe. The bamboo shaft is torn immediately in front of the spear shoe. Provenance: 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.
