war spear - Fiji

Antique Fijian war spear. As most of the spears this spear has been reduced in length when brought to the continent. I must have measured about 230 cm when used on the Island. Great patina, showing traces of usage as can be seen on the pictures. Ref. Fijian weapons & warfare by Fergus Clunie (see pictures, page 160, right spear) Fijian name "Bibi-ni-co could" mean something like "The weight or strength of the thrust or throw"
