Bow and small spear
A small bow and a spear. The bow is made from a solid and light colored wood.
The spear, likely for throwing given the absence of a notch, is made from a segmented plant stem, almost resembling bamboo. The head of the spear is metal, perhaps iron, and has many small barbs and is inserted into a split end of the shaft. It appears to be secured with a rubber band.
