Sumatra, Toba Batak spear, probably for ceremonial use?

Thank you for your comments. I knew it was Karo, not Toba, but obviously had a brain freeze, or a major senior moment, when I posted it - sorry about that.

Close-ups of the wood of this one and the Sulawesi one will have to wait until I can have some help getting them down from the wall - will be some time, no doubt, as I'm self-isolating at the moment.

I must say that the Forum provides some very welcome distraction from the world.

Best wishes to all.
