Spear consisting of an iron spear-head with rounded tip and narrow blade with a raised rib running down the centre of both sides, giving it a lozenge-shaped section. This type of spear was obsolete in the 1930’s, used only as bride wealth; it is known as dem. Evans-Pritchard describes these spears in his book on the Anyuak: “In old times spears were rare and treasured heirlooms. These old spears, the two chief types, joo [jo] and dim [dem] , being tanged, often form part of bride wealth and are worth between 100 and 150 piastres each” (E.E. Evans-Pritchard, 1940, The Political System of the Anuak of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, p. 56) - which was around £1 at that time; this particular spear was worth roughly 30 English shillings.
