also I may be leaning towards Papua New Guinea,now for the origin of my Bow

my arrow looks to be a match for the following description of one from Papua New Guinea,

The shafts are of reed, nockless, and rarely decorated

A common war arrow with plain, spindle-shaped head of palm wood; plant-fiber reinforcement. Arrow
is 121.5 cm long and 1.1 cm in diameter; head is 41.5 cm long.

thanks
Ken
