Hello,
won three spear heads. Was thinking they look SE Asian.
If anyone could give me an indication would be most appreciated.
Also as am going to put away till I have a bit more time to look after so if anyone could suggest best way to store (i.e. apply thin film oil and wrap in rag)
thanks

Yes, all three are from Indonesia, I think Java but not sure by the one in down. Oiling and wrapping in plastic film would preserve them.
Etching will bring out the pamor.

Regards,

Detlef

I AGREE WITH DETLEF.

YOU ARE LUCKY TO GET 3 VARIATIONS IN FORM AT THE SAME TIME AND PERHAPS MORE CAN BE LEARNED ON ORIGINS FROM THE FORMS. GOOD LUCK
