Thank you for your info.
I agree about the dress. The best display would be the pieces alone. Second best mounting where the carving is on the inside and out of sight!.
I think that the Javanese and worse yet,, the Madurese (is that a word?) make some awful tourist dress. "Dripping" is a good word here.
According to a very good source who has asked me not to mention his name, these are Bedor --- arrowheads.
Maybe I could get them mounted in arrow shafts. Personally I agree that they may be newer. Always hard to know. I like the quality and the uniqueness. Also nice staining work.
