African Bident Spearhead from EthiopiaA forked spear may be used as a fishing
Bident spears from Africa, usually contain much symbolic value Notice the spearhead with the unusual Bident configuration, with paired willow-leaf shaped points diverging from a shared base. Other than that, it shares many characteristics with the more conventional spear. Both spears are decorated with a checkerboard design of alternating sections of bare metal possibly ricasso. This point has the same long socket and willow-leaf shaped blades, in this case.
The twin blades have strong midribs with concave areas left coated with dark-colored oxide.The shape is trim and elegant. Although the points are needle-sharp, the edges are blunted. Would have been used with a 6-7' hardwood or possibly bamboo shaft. One could pair this with a cane shaft in the near future. Another interesting feature shared by both spears is a neat "hem" of sorts at the base of the ferrule. Instead of ending in a ragged or chisel-cut edge, the material is turned on itself
