THESE AND OTHER VARIATIONS ARE SOLD IN BORNEO BUT ARE A TRADITIONAL BATAK PEOPLE DESIGN RATHER THAN DAYAK. SOLD TO THOSE WHO TRAVEL AS A SHAMANS STAFF THIS IS A CONTEMPORARY ITEM. THE GOOD OLD ONES WITH PROVENANCE DO BRING THE BIG $$$$ BUT ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN ARE MADE OF HARDWOOD AND DON'T COME APART FOR TRAVEL. A NICE DECORATOR ITEM WITH THE PROPER TRADITIONAL BATAK CARVING STYLE. NOT A BAD ITEM IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT.
