Detail: Seven feet in length, this spear comes from a Maasai tribe in Kenya. Hand created by a young Maasai warrior for his rights-of-passage into adulthood. Acquired from a tribesman back in the early 1970’s by our Capetown agent, it was shipped to me in the late 1990’s.

 

This item was SOLD.  Thank you, T.D.
