A new old Seme

CONGRADULATIONS! A NICE OLD ONE WITH THE LARGE SIZE AND OLD STYLE BLADE THAT HAS THE SHAPE AND MID RIB OF THE MASSAI LION SPEAR. THE NEWER ONES ARE USUALLY SMALLER AND SOME DO NOT HAVE THE SAME SHAPE OR MID RIB OF THE OLDER ONES.
I AM NOT SURE IF THESE SEMI WERE USED FOR WORK AS WELL AS FIGHTING AND HUNTING. IT WOULD DEPEND ON IF THE WARRIORS DID WORK OR IF IT WAS LEFT UP TO THE WOMEN AND YOUNGER MEN WHO WERE NOT YET WARRIORS.

Could it be from the 19th/early 20th century?

best regards

Luis
