Shaman's staff - Melanesia or Indonesia ?
Hi
I got this long carved stick a little while ago....not a weapon as such, but maybe could be used for defence in case of necessity. I think its probably a shaman or diviner's staff but not sure whether Admiralty Islands, Timor or Dayak origin ? Has anyone seen anything similar - perhaps one of our South East Asian specialists can help out ? The staff has been varnished at some time in the past, unfortunately. Thanks in advance. |
