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 ... )

I have attached detailled photos of the lot and Spear 1 . Will open a new thread for the other one to avoid confusion .

Head Spear 1 : From top to hilt > 390mm

Thanking you for your comments ....
Henri
