This is a wonderful Antique Kuba Spear from the Congo. The unique beauty of Congo region weaponry is undeniable. The items are so well formed, visually compelling and diverse and they are coveted by collectors as objects of art. The Congo Basin and Kuba Kingdom offers a myriad of iron war swords, wooden dance knives and advanced ceremonial spears. Spears lavished with distinctive symmetrical iron spearheads, well balanced decorated shafts and unusual spear end butts are hand forged by highly touted master iron workers. In fact the region between the upper and lower Congo is referred to as land of the blacksmith kings. Finely crafted spears, swords and knives are and owned only by royalty and earned by deserving, well respected noted warriors and hunters. Such selections are indicators of tribal status and a source of tremendous pride for the owner. This type of spear was especially crafted for a noted warrior and paraded during special occasions. The elongated spearhead with two circular cut outs at the lower portion is of classic Kuba styling. The long balanced wooden shaft has been perfectly wrapped in a copper casing indicating great prestige, tribal honor and wealth. The items are so well formed, visually compelling and diverse that they are coveted by collectors as objects of art. This Kuba Spear would be a wonderful addition to your collection. This spear shows oxidation and age.
