Hello.
I originally picked these two spears up as part of a collection a few years ago, and then a friend told me that they were Moro. Until just the other day, I never thought anything about it, but now that I've taken another look at them, I think that they might be Indonesian. Possibly Javanese? The one with the longer blade measures 79 1/2" in overall length. The shaft is black palmwood, and the spearhead stands 13 1/4" from tip to the top of the brass ferrule. The spear with the small leaf shaped blade measures 84 1/2" in overall length. The head is about 6 1/2" from tip to top of the brass ferrule. The shaft on this one is also Palm. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Joe Last edited by Clubs & Arrows; 1st September 2010 at 04:28 PM. |

I think these spears come from Sumatra or Borneo. The one with the large spearhead could be a Moro Budiak. It probably is.

I also would Indonesia but not from Java. Most probable from Sumatra like Henk write.
