Arrows (and a bow)

I cannot recall how I got these but I have a vague recollection of "Filipino".

You know, I think they may have come from a consign market in Westport, CT. Lots of interesting things there.

BTW, the bow is ~3 ft.

Anyway, thoughts?

My thoughts - bow looks Southern or Eastern African. Arrows - mixed origins, wood tips resemble Papuan or Melanesian arrows, others possibly Philippines? Would need to see fletchings, if any. Thanks for posting!

I also can't help with the origin and I don't want to guess. I added from my collection some arrow tips from Banda Neira, Moluccas and three arrows from the Philippines, unknown ethnic for comparison.

Regards,
