Description: | Spear with a long wooden staff and a iron head. The head is a large, flat leaf shape, which connects to the staff via a cylindrical neck. The neck is hollowed to allowed the carved wooden staff to wedge inside it. There is a thin coil of thin iron wire around the base of the neck. The tip of the staff has an iron weight at the bottom, which narrows to a circular button. There is also another coil of wire at the tip.
