Tuareg allar(h) old spear

[Marc M.]

An old Tuareg allar(h) spear, 173 cm. It had a thick layer of black paint on it , removed with a paint stripping paste and brushed away the paint layer with a brass brush. Derusted with sandpaper, 3m sanding sponge and steel wool, to a level acceptable to me. In good condition with many details, brass, engraving on tip and shaft, leather still in good condition. A fine addition to my takoubas. Now a Tuareg shield, but fairly rare.
