Traditionally, the spear has long been the weapon of choice of the Maasai. It is used to defend cattle, community and the warrior himself against wild animals and invaders. Constructed from wood and iron, it is deemed to be the single most valued personal possession after livestock. The long heavy iron spear head was designed specially to bring down lions. The weapon has a three piece configuration, made from 3 separate pieces. The spear head and metal end are attached by hardened wax and socketing to the opposite ends of the third section, the wooden grip.
