Unknown spearheads

[Araña_del_Sol]

Hi all,

I have a trio of spearheads that I have not been able to identify, any help would be greatly appreciated. The first two are nearly identical and came with basket scabbards. I suspect they may be Asian but I'm not sure from which culture/region. The third is a fancy, probably ceremonial, piece and I have no clue where it comes from.

Hi ADS,

The two similar ones are typical working knives from Thailand, they are still made today.

the third spear appears to be African (to me) .

It is near impossible to say whether it is old since it was polished

Hi ADS,

I agree with Detlef. The first two are mainland SE Asian work knives and are seen widely in that region--Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and probably in other neighboring areas as well.

the third one is indeed African, Congo I think and bears similarities with the 2 Konda Nkundu knives and used on ceremonial staffs like the 2 Konda Nkundu ones on the picture to the right

Thank you all, these were head scratchers for me. Thanks for the images gp, definitely looks like a match.
