would this go into a tree if you threw it?

It probably would stick in a tree but that is not what it is designed to do. An iklwa is a stabbing spear.

would this go into a tree if you threw it?

Only if you sharpened the tip first & added a counter weight on the back to help keep it stable in mid flight

Is this made in china? Looks like not made in africa

It's made to look like a real one, but smaller. Might be used as a toy

do you have something i could mount this on wall with?

We're very sorry, but we do not sell any type of wall mounts.
