It looks that it maybe has been used as an stopper on an bamboo tube.

I don't understand Ben.
First you say it is a stopper for a bamboo tube.
Now you assume it is newly carved.

I don't know, bought it on a militairy arms fair approx 10 years ago.

This I do'nt know either Ben. I never been to Bali, but you visit there quite frequently. Funny, never would have guessed that Bali is the place to buy Borneo art. Would not be the real thing would it ?

You visited my home 3 times.
Once we sat in the garden about 5 years ago with nice weather and the second time was over a year ago you had dinner . it would be supernatural if you had been able to see everything in my collection and even memorise everything.

If I say this was in my collection 10 years, believe me it was.

In dutch : "zoals de waard is..."
