The silverwork is really nice.

Here is a thread for reference started by Danny.

You got some response now Colin. I used the book by Zonneveld. That gives Sumatra, Aceh, for this kind of spears. Well, Aceh or not, probably Sumatra, but a very fine piece.

As I noticed with some research I did recently on Danny's spears, I found out it's very difficult to nail down the origine of this kind of spears.
I'm almost sure that Danny's lances are Gayo/Atjeh lances.
Though this lancehead seem to be a little different in shape as the Atjeh/Gayo ones.

But that's just my feeling...

Lovely spear :-)
