As Tim notes, its often hard to make an identification without the entire spear being present including shaft and butt.

Iain unfortunately collection tags will not help. These spears are stored in the museum, where I work. The labels information that they are from Central Africa. I would like to know more, to supplement the information in the collection tags.
