Excellent 19th century Swazi stabbing spear. Swazi spears followed the same broad patterns as their Zulu counterparts but were often characterised by wider blades and by decorative cow-tails on the base of the haft. Light rusting on blade but still overall this is a nice piece, the heavy blade 11 ins long by 1.5 wide, neatly bound with wire, overall length 48 ins. Good sound condition.
