Tribal dart quiver

VANDOO · 6th February 2008, 11:36 PM

I WOULD SAY BORNEO , THEIR DARTS AND QUIVERS ARE THE SAME AND THE PUNAN ALSO HAVE THE SOFT WOODEN PLUG ON THE ENDS OF THEIR DARTS. I HAVE NEVER SHOT DARTS WITH ANYONE IN THE PHILIPPINES SO CAN'T COMMENT ON WHAT THEIRS LOOK LIKE. THE CARVING ON THE WOODEN HOLDER IS WHAT MAKES ME SAY DAYAK.

INCLUDED ARE 3 PIC'S 2 OF DART CONTAINERS AND ONE OF A KENYAH HUNTER WITH BLOWGUN/SPEAR (SUMPIT) AND A WILD PIG TAKEN IN 1922.

I still think it is from the Philippines, Tau't Bato tribe. I have a similar quiver. The Frenchman who sold it to me had brought the quiver back from this tribe in the sixties. He was sent to this tribes in the Philippines to bring medicines.

PERHAPS THIS POST WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE TO POST SOME PICTURES OF PHILLIPPINE, DAYAK AND ANY OTHER PEOPLE OR COUNTRYS WHO USE BLOWGUNS. IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE A PLACE TO COMPARE THE BLOWGUNS AND ACESSARYS FROM DIFFERENT CULTURES FOR REFRENCE.

HERE IS A DRAWING DONE IN 1703 OF NATIVES MAKEING WAR WITH BLOWGUNS IN MAKASAR, NOTE THE DART.
AND A PICTURE OF A SPEAR AND BLOWGUN FROM TORAJA

I have not seen a Tagbanua quiver (particularly the belt hook) like this before. Thus I tend to be on the side of the Borneo origin. I must say though that quivers from Palawan and Borneo can easily be mixed up by an untrained eye.

The Tagbanua and Tao't Batu (both of Palawan, Philippines) used quivers that may be difficult to differentiate, as it is possible that one may have adopted the technology from the other. My 2 cents.

Here it is.
Tau't Bato tribe from the Philippines. In the top of the cover poison was poured to put the tip of the arrows in.

The picture of the warrior with blowpipe and quiver is a member of the Tau't Bato tribe.

The quiver shown as Tau't Batu of Palawan is the same as the ones used by the Tagbanua (and Batak negritos of Palawan). The quiver in question, on the other hand, has a wooden hip hook design that is dissimilar. Therefore, I do not think that it is from Palawan - i.e. not Batak, not Tau't Batu, and not Tagbanua.
