Featured in this lot are two African assegai spear heads dating from the 19th century from the South Sudan and Congo areas. The first spear head appears to be a Congolese Slaver's spear head, a universal form that evolved with the melding of tribes in Congo in the second half of the 19th century. It features a slight medially ridged, leaf-shaped point, with a conical socket pierced with a hole for a securing pin. The spear head has a nice patina due to its age. It measures 23 1/4" L and 2" W at the widest part of the blade. The second spear head is believed to be from the South Sudan Dinka or Shilluk tribe and used for hunting or battle. This spear head features a distinct medial ridge through the center of the spear head on either sides. This spear head has a more defined and distinguishable leaf-shape and features a conical socket for the shaft of the spear to be inserted and secured. The end of the socket appears to be smashed or hammered in. This spear head has a nice patina from its age. This spear head measures 24" L and 2 1/4" W and the widest part. Overall both spear heads are in good condition for their age and are in great display condition.
