Research help needed please!

I spoke to some people who are also doing my course and they said it could be used as an arrow?
I don't really know.

A lot of people have been saying it could be just for rituals etc.

I wish there was a book on tribes and their weapons and what they look like, just a general overview!

What I have found out so far is this:
The head is iron
The head and shaft are attached through the metalwork being tightly pushed around the cane.
The wire is galvanised zinc.
The shaft is cane - i think - and has been broken at the end.

That is as much as I have personally found out!

The research into it is really interesting but of all the websites I've been on I haven't seen anything like it at all!

There aren't any markings on it anywhere but you can see how the head has been forged (is that right?) to give it the flatness.

Many thanks for your feedback, I hope we can find out where its from in the end!!!
