Two African Maasai Tribal Hunting Spears Tanzania

Item Details

Description

We believe the smaller broken spear to be late 19thC. while the other is first half 20thC. Two Maasai hunting spears, Tanzania. Mr. Nooters notes mention simply Maasai spear hand written on a piece of paper with other Maasai objects dated 1984. We believe these spears to be gathered in Tanzania while Mr. Nooter was living and working at the Tanzanian world bank.
