Bow an arrows, Papua (?)

Hi,

these bow and the arrows came to me some month ago. Because I guess it came from papua, I wont put it under the tread of the santa cruz arrows from MariaL.
Am I right?

The Bow is made from palmwood with a string of a kind of bamboo. It has a nice carving. Length 180 cm
The arrows are bamboo with some carvings on it and palmwood tips. 120-135 cm.
They shall be picked up around 1900, by german colonial workers.

There are some lances and spears with it, which i will show in another part.

Best

Dirk
