Willem,

It looks like Tanimbar, or the neighbouring region, to me.
Check the Leiden picture archive for resembling spears.

Hi Willem,

I also would guess Moluccas, but can be also from the north. But this is just a feeling. BTW very nice and interesting spear.

Regards,

Detlef

I also vote for Tanimbar, here the piece from Leiden.

The collection number looks the most of collectionnumbers from the museum in Rotterdam ( starting with 26-) maybe it ex from their collection.
