A couple of recent purchases which I am told came from a Dutch collection.

Both are large

First is 91 ins or 2.31 m long with a 12ins or 30 cm head.
The wicker decoration is approx 27 1/2 ins or 70cm long.
Shaft appears to be some sort of palm wood.


The second one is 84 ins or 213 cm long with a massive 18 ins or 46 cm head.
Shaft is bamboo with a hard gum-like substance at the top by the head.

Dealer said that they are from the Phillipines, but came from a Dutch family who lived in Indonesia for a long time.

All opinions are welcome.

Thanks
Roy
