A thin line with a crimson flare, built to be noticed from far away.

This Naga spear from Nagaland, Northeast India, is made of iron and animal hair and dates to the 20th century. Spears of this type are commonly linked with warriors and with ceremonial dress among Naga communities. The iron blade is slender and pointed, and the shaft is bound with red and black wrapping near the center. A thick fringe of red hair sits lower down, above a long metal spike. A black stand holds it upright for display.
