    Hi Again,

    Would love to know more about this object if anyone can help.

    My best guess is that it is an unusual archery bow but I have know idea where from really. The last photo shows other items in the same lot, listed as "african tribal weaponry" but one of the spears looks indonesian to me and another filipino (the barbed onw), correct me if im wrong please!.

    Would also love some help on the blue painted spear / paddle if anyone can help. Ive seen a few like this. They dont seem like they would be particularly practical spears or paddles?!

    Thanks,

    Calum

    Thanks Komokwa

    Agree on the spear in the background. I think Hausa tribe or around that area. The only thing that is making me uncertain is the material of the shaft. Its kind of like bamboo but I have seen shafts like this on spears attributed to African tribes.

    Ill post a better photo in a minute
