I have seen some elaborated dayak spear points but I can't see any reason for having it on a sumpitan?

Hi Michael,

when you look to the last picture you can see a denting in the back of human figure so I think that it would be possible to fasten it to a blowgun.
Your other question is the same what I thought when I see it. And I never seen a spear point for Sumpitans from brass. The figure seems in my eyes typical dayak style, isn't it? Maybe a ceremonial piece? I just have no answers, that was the reason why I post it.
