VICIOUS MAHDIST WAR SUDANESE SPEAR HEAD

14” length, iron, forged with leaf shaped point with bold chiseled zig-zag. Each side with a row of chisel raised barbs and curiously, an oval piercing. Butted seam conical socket. Among the vicious of these that we have encountered, produced with vitriolic hatred inspired by religious fanaticism to penetrate a British Red Coat. Probably brought back to England after one of the major battles, probably Omdurman.
