A VERY INTERESTING LOT OF PHOTO'S I ENJOYED LOOKING AT THEM

.
IN YOUR PHOTO #1XX1 THE WARRIOR IS SHOWN WITH A KERIS AND A BLOWGUN WITH DARTS HELD IN HIS HAND. THE DARTS ARE MADE TO LOOK MORE LIKE SMALL ARROWS THAN THEY PROBABLY WOULD IN REALITY BUT IF THE ARTIST HAD NOT DONE IT THAT WAY I PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT. THE UPPER END ALSO IS EXPANDED FOR A BETTER SEAL WHEN BLOWING AS FOUND IN SOME TYPES OF BLOWGUN. I LOOKED AT THE ARTISTS EXAMPLES OF BOWS BEING USED AND THAT HELPED ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF IT BEING A BOW AND ARROWS.

IN ANOTHER PICTURE XV11 THERE IS A STRANGE ITEM, THERE IS A LADY ON A HORSE AND A SERVANT IS STANDING BEHIND THE HORSE CARRYING A STRANGE THING THAT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE A LARGE AX BLADE. PERHAPS THE DEADLY AX PURSE
