Here is a photo of some pole arms in the museum Radya Pustaka in Solo, Central Jawa.

The cabinets are about seven feet high, the pole arms probably around 14 feet long.

These very long pole arms were used mainly for crowd control.

The ones with the forked heads with reverse teeth were for holding people who ran amuk and for other criminals.
