Some more objects from Indonesia/Borneo. A sumpitan blowpipe/spear, 1.80 meters oal. Binding spear tip/blow pipe solid. An arrow quiver made of bamboo with the belt hook and some arrows present.

Bedankt voor uw reactie, thank you for your response. Facinating objects that don't seem to have that much interest. Regards Marc |
Very cool. The aso-motives on the belt hanger are great. What is the dark pointed object shown in the last two photos?

My understanding is that those tools are used for carving/shaping the plant pith air seals for the blowgun darts. Beautiful set! |

Attached a pic of a very similar tool from the tolor in my collection. |

I don't think so, nearly all Dayak ethnographic items are highly collectible. Your sumpitan is nice but the real treasure is the nice tolor. I would try to fix the open rotan bindings on both items. There are several threads about these items, here are two: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ighlight=tolor http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...light=sumpitan Best regards, Detlef |
