Big Melanesian spear?

Yes indeed, very nice. Make mine look quite modest. I assume this is not your sitting room. Where and what is this collection? do they have a publication including material of this kind? There are very good collections of Melanesian material in Holland and Germany, perhaps members from said countries could provide some information especially about any museum publications?

Look at these two wonderful spears from the Admiralty islands. From "admiralty islands art from the south seas" museum rietberg Zurich.
