Head Spear 2
Dear members ,
I would like to submit you a lot I bought during an auction coming from Baron von Hochstetter collection , Düsseldorf. I am more keris collector orientated and know nothing about spears so would be happy to understand a little bit more on the origin of these head spears . Looks like possible different origins ( Aceh ? Sulu Archipelago ? Sumatra ... ) From Top to hilt > 280 mm Thanking you for your comments ....

Well I would say Indonesian, but let others pin it down better.

Thank you Battara for your replies .
For this spear I found a thread the 30th March 2011 where Asomotif presented 2 spears with one very similar to this one ... and origin Atjeh and also a photo of a lot of 4 spears with again one very similar from the Kelling hall . So, may be Atjeh ????? |
