spears of vietnam for comment

[Ian]

On further looking into the Moi people, it appears that moi was a pejorative Vietnamese term meaning "savage" and was applied to various tribal groups in the central and southern Vietnamese highlands. The French referred to them as Montagnard, a generic term for mountain people, and more recently they have been called Degar.

Attached below is an etching from 1883 of two men labeled Types of Moi. The one on the left has a large mak resting on his shoulder and the one on the right has a spear similar to several shown above.

Thank you for sharing.

Interesting area. complete new to me. I always stuck in Indonesia ocassionally Africa.

It makes an impressive display due to the lentgth and the rather large number of spears.

Do you have daylight close ups of the metal winding of the shafts ?

Best regards,
