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"
