Spear

Place:

Sierra Leone, Africa

Accession Date:

26 Jun 1885

Notes:

There are 3 spears now being tracked as catalog number 76272 (E76272-0, E76272-1, and E76272-2). According to the ledger book, there was originally only one spear with this number, measuring 6 feet, 4 inches. None of the spears are this length, so some or all of them may be misnumbered. E76272-1 is 5 ft, 11 inches (71 inches) and is marked with a dubious "refreshed" (newer) number, "76272-3"
