Title: Iron Weapon/Money Lance
Description: The Nkutsu Tribe of Zaire made long lances for use as weapons; they also figured in tribal dances and were so valuable that they became a form of money also. They have a large iron blade, and the wooden shaft is bound with woven brass and copper wire. (This example lacks the iron bell on the opposite end.) See Opitz, p. 313.
