SPEAR for comments

[colin henshaw]

It looks a good old spear from the Congo area. I've seen this sort described as "Ngbandi", "Ngala" etc. Probably others can be more specific on this point.

I'm not really sure how accurately Congolese weapons can be pinpointed to the various tribal groups ?? no doubt there was a fair bit of diffusion etc.

Regards.
