Enggano spear / Ekajo
For sharing this Enggano lance ( comments and discussion are appreciated )
Last week I had the luck to bump up against some stuff that belonged to a Dutch family that had lived on Sumatra before the second ww.
My intention with buying the lot was to resale it again , but after handling this spear i decided that I kind of like it so it stays.
You don't see them so often and in my eyes the are very primitive but that is the charm of it.
Need to clean the point from the rust , the point also is a little loose because the binding and the damar did expand ? , the point is still attached but it wiggles ...
Some one a idea how I can get it tight again ?
There is some motive at the bottom of the point and also there is a small piece of tinn ( i ques ) on the shaft.
And a great patin and old dirt on the shaft also.
greetings ,
Danny
