Javelin

Spear with a wooden shaft and a narrow iron point attached to the shaft by means of a socket and nails. The blade is narrow, slightly oval in shape and tapers into an elongated 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.
