Long double headed spear. Shaft (part a) is made from a light grass material, maintaining diameter until its proximal end, where it narrows to join with the spear neck. Strands of fibre are wound tightly many times around the connection, as well as at the shaft’s distal end. The spear neck (together with heads constitute part b) is made up of two long pieces of dark brown wood, lashed together near their base, then separating. An iron head tops each shaft. Heads are thin, rusted, and have a single large barb pointing down and to the outside.
Harpoon. Long wooden shank has a large notch in butt. Top holds a long metal blade, thin in profile, tapering to a sharp point. Blade is rusted.
