YES IT LOOKS LIKE A TIWI SPEAR FROM MELVILLE OR BATHURST ISLAND A BIT NORTH OF DARWIN AUSTRALIA. NICE ONE AND UNUSUAL TO FIND ONE STILL FULL LEGNTH AND NOT CUT OFF. CONGRADULATIONS

I VISITED THE TIWI ONCE AND THEY USE ALL NATURAL PIGMENTS IN THEIR PAINTS . THERE ARE MANY AREAS WITH SOIL OF MANY COLORS ON THE ISLANDS AS WELL AS AROUND DARWIN. THE TIWI HAD A REPUTATION AS VERY FIERCE WARIORS.
