I WOULD AGREE IT IS LIKELY FROM BORNEO AS THE CARVING LOOKS MORE DAYAK THAN SUMATRAN. I WOULD THINK IT IS MADE AS A TOOL FOR LOCALS BUT OF COURSE A TOURIST COULD PICK ONE UP AT THE LOCAL SHOPS OR PERHAPS TRADE OR BUY FROM AN INDIVIDUAL. THE WRITING IN PENCIL MAKES ME THINK PERHAPS IT BELONGED TO SOMEONE AND DIDN'T COME FROM THE STORE LIKE THAT. A INTERESTING ITEM.
