Makonde Tanzanian Carved Warrior Female Spear
About the Item
Warrior woman hunting spear of the African Makonde tribe.
Traditionally, Makonde wood carving has served as a means of storytelling, preserving their history and traditions through the intricate details of each piece. Skilled artisans within the tribe meticulously carve and shape the wood, bringing to life the unique characteristics and emotions of their subjects. The carvings not only showcase their artistic prowess but also reflect the Makonde's deep connection to their natural surroundings, incorporating elements inspired by the wildlife and environment that surround them.
The spearhead has been restored and reinforced to remain securely attached, circa 1950.
