Hmmm....the museum dates this last one as "Early 20th Century". Does that date seem a bit off to anyone else?

thanks, gustav, for the links! i can see in the pic of the museum catalogue pages (example below) that they have lots of barungs and moro spears. how does one access the pics of those?

I'm with you on that. Perhaps more accurately the period when they were collected........

Yes thanks Gustav.
