Interesting arrows and spears made of wood

[fearn]

It looks like a New Guinea bow, perhaps from the Dani (technically from Irian Jaya). That use of a flat rattan strap for a bow string is unique to New Guinea, maybe to the Dani. The arrows that it could shoot would not have a nock at the back: they just fit them flat on the strap and let fly. Fun stuff.

Best,
