Here 2 close ups of hair decoration on the spears.

Well.... spears can be sort of boring... but if you line them up they make a nice display

Very nice display Willem.
I still have a Borneo spear for you lying here. I will not able to take it to you by train next month, as it would be a strange sight...

PS. Here an old image of Celebes swords (around 1911).....

Hello Séverin,

I think it's a penai! But a very nice one, love the carvings at the scabbard. Very nice sword.

Hello Detlef,

Thank you for the correction. I have never really understand the difference between Sumara and Penai. Whith the word "penai" I found all the handle variation on internet.
Sumara is only for handle with a big "V" ?
