Johndakerftw Valued Member Canada 93 Posts	Posted 09/11/2015 1:39 pm Hi everyone! I was in the local antique shop when something caught my eye. I asked the seller about it and he had no idea, but they were probably from the '20s, but I'm not so sure. It's a display with 3 spearheads and beads. I'm a complete noob at ancient artifacts, but I'm wondering if the spearheads and beads are indeed ancient. Please forgive me if it's a completely stupid thought. The price point for these is $195. As always, I really appreciate your expertise! Thanks so much, Erin :) Report this Post to the Staff

Johndakerftw Valued Member Canada 93 Posts	Posted 09/11/2015 5:59 pm Thanks for the input, Bob and Albert. The display was behind a glass case and the seller wasn't there when I actually took the picture. I looked up the Bura culture and the spearheads look the same. Erin Report this Post to the Staff

Yeah, I'm pretty certain of the attribution...Bura spear points have a very distinctive shape, with very long "tangs" (the extended part below the barbed head). Report this Post to the Staff
