Congratulations!

I have never seen this kind of rare West Kalimantan spears in private collections either.

Hi Ben,

Can you make some additionalpictures of the spearhead ?
It is a very unusual spearhead shape, both for Borneo as for Indonesia.

Best regards,
Willem

Very nice! Congratulations also!

Waiting to see additional pictures. Spears are difficult to photograph.
