The spear which I believe to betypical of Ikiju is depicted in Fig. 293. The shortlancet-shaped blade is attached to the shaft, as well asthe iron socket. There are also found in use in Ushashiand in Ngoroine ancient spears of the Wataturu, and suchas recall those in use on the western shore of the the eastern districts the beautiful long spears of theMassai are commonly seen. For huntingelephants they formerly used short spearswith bulky, heavy wooden shafts, suchas are used in Unyamwesi (Fig. 294). The shields in Ushashi are very similar to those of the Massai, and showily painted in various Shields. ™, . ,
