Description
This 26-inch Père Spear from Tanzania has a unique spearhead with pigmentation and patterning.
Metal, in whatever form, has value and, particularly among traditional societies, iron had value, in that it could be converted into other forms such as a hoe, a spear point, or a machete. These metal tools and weapons carried not only symbolic meaning during bride negotiations but held practical value as well.
