Spear with a bamboo cane staff and iron head. The head has a short leaf shaped blade, which is connected to the staff by a long metal neck. The neck is hollowed at the bottom in order for the staff to fit inside it and for it to be wedged tight. At three intervals down the handle there is plant fibre binding. At the tip of the staff there is a iron coil weight/decoration.
