Not Igorot, but perhaps Nias.

I also thought about Nias. The point is a form that you see on Nias.
But the shaft is really thin (1,5 cms) which I have not seen with Nias spears
And than there is the decoration in the wood on the top and the bottom.

Here are some Nias spears.

Willem,

It looks like Tanimbar, or the neighbouring region, to me.
Check the Leiden picture archive for resembling spears.

Hi Willem,

I also would guess Moluccas, but can be also from the north. But this is just a feeling. BTW very nice and interesting spear.

Regards,

Detlef

I also vote for Tanimbar, here the piece from Leiden.

The collection number looks the most of collectionnumbers from the museum in Rotterdam ( starting with 26-) maybe it ex from their collection.
