Sweet weapon and congratulations!
My first impression of the "trophies" on that one is that they have a distinct talismantic effect, like the tusk balls on some of the swords from Nias, as compared to the "effect" teeth on the tourist pieces from Irianjaya.
As an aside, I watched "Fairwell to the King", with Nick Nolte again last night and a very similar piece (hopefully also in prop form) and some beautiful Dayak shields were used in the early combat scenes.
Again, congratulations on aquiring a truly beautiful weapon.
Mike
