According to anthropologists, the Baiga probably are one of the oldest forest-dwelling aboriginal peoples of central India, especially Madhya Pradesh, with whom life is nature-centric for survival, and traditions are passed on from generation to generation; craftsmanship in various forms is generally a cultural prize. Iron spearhead-making is one such manifestation of these somewhat unique survival and artisanal skills.
The craftsmanship of the Baiga has determined the making of this spearhead, conical with finely pointed tip, embedded in pure utility. It is composed entirely of iron, used when necessary for hunting or defence. The lower end of the spearhead is hollowed pipe-like for firmly embedding it into the wooden shaft. This construction not only provides a firm grip but also helps with the spear's balancing act at the moment of hunting, or ambush.

These tools supposedly were double-pronged, fulfilling a very practical need while at the same time possessing some symbolic meaning and thus passing on as a part of the warriors' inheritance over the generations. The Baigas used locally available materials to manufacture their weapons through blacksmithing methods, crude yet effective for making weapons like this spearhead. This indicates their affinity for metal and function, forging weapons without modern tools, with full respect for the environment and the immediate needs derived from living in the forest. Today, iron spearheads are preserved in ethno-museums and cultural repositories, embodying an uninterrupted legacy of tribal innovations and resilience.
