Authentic African Masai Lion Spear From East Africa

Item Details

Description

This Spear is very old. Around 1910 give or take a couple of years. It measures 7 feet 2" long, which is just about the same height as a Masai Warrior. Back at the time of this Spear, the Masai were still hunting Lions with this type of Spear. They circled a Lion and then the young warrior would move towards the Lion in the circle and provoke a charge. When Lion took his last leap the warrior would plant the base of the Spear in the ground and leaning back with the tip of the spear held high, he would try to impale the Lion by using the Lions weight against him, and using the sharp planted Spear. The Masai, at the time, had to kill a Lion in order to reach manhood and be allowed to marry. Of course a few young Masai didn't make it to manhood.
