Do you have any Idea which specific Polynesian culture? A friend suggested the staff may not be cut but may full length as some sort of short stabbing spear. I think it's cut. This was also represented as a fishing spear.

The Spear I was after was an East African small game hunting spear. It is a leaf pattern and hand forged with a very light staff. In order to get the African spear, I had to take the Polynesian Spear.

I have also located a pair of authentic Masai spears, but the price is a bit steep. I'll have to work on those.
