I had a look around to find more information of these Tunggal panaluan, fro the Batak people, but, to my surprise, I haven't found much.

they are Indonesian Magic or Shaman Staffs , used by the village shamans, some are very large indeed and really look like small totems poles.

I am looking at one with the possibility to purchase and would like to research the matter and these objects. I know they are not too unusual in the NL but apparently not too many (or any) have been discussed here, in any case not that I could find them with several repeated search actions.

Are there such collectors among us?
