Aero mechanical spear head ??

This is a stabbing spear from the south and south central areas of Africa people like the Shona. It was never intended for throwing. The other end would have a flat rounded piece of iron some 4-6 inches long attached the same way as the blade with iron binding to give weight to a thrust and to act as a balance. I am sorry I cannot show you a complete example but other members will I am sure be able to. Tim
