What you mean to look at it is newly carved !!!

I don't understand Ben.
First you say it is a stopper for a bamboo tube.
Now you assume it is newly carved.

I don't know, bought it on a militairy arms fair approx 10 years ago.

This I do'nt know either Ben. I never been to Bali, but you visit there quite frequently. Funny, never would have guessed that Bali is the place to buy Borneo art. Would not be the real thing would it ?

You visited my home 3 times.
Once we sat in the garden about 5 years ago with nice weather and the second time was over a year ago you had dinner . it would be supernatural if you had been able to see everything in my collection and even memorise everything.

If I say this was in my collection 10 years, believe me it was.

In dutch : "zoals de waard is..."

You also showed me an skull that you put in coffee and thee to darken it so this Dutch saying I think is more for you.
So when you showed me your Borneo collection and told me this is what you have you did not tell the thrut . (nice to know and it was more than 3 times but your memory I did already notice isn t getting better 'you mixed up to many things)

When I picked up the spears/peddle 2 times .(but it s realy getting down whit your memory

And for you to see if something is old must be a piece off cake because in an advertisement you tell you can see trough paint how old the wood is strange you ask the period off an handle that is not painted .

Wie de billen brand moet ......... also Dutch

Ben, You're off topic.

If you think this is a stopper for a bamboo tube. fine with me.
Opinions are like ...holes, everyone is entitled to have one.
If you did or did not see this at my home is also not very relevant.

the fact that is unused, hardly any patina makes it difficult to judge.
So any help would be welcome, regardless of the outcome.

But don't come in here telling me this is part of a bamboo tube made in Bali just because you never seen it before.
