Default Oceanic wooden spears for comment

Hi

I've had a group of these long wooden spears from Melanesia stored away for some time, and decided to get some out and take a few pictures. They are very long (8 to 10 feet) and incredibly finely detailed, probably made with stone tools.

The ones shown are from New Hebrides, Solomom Islands and New Guinea, I think.

Has anyone seen the 1960s documentary on the Dani of New Guinea "Dead Birds" ?
