Thank you for your info.

I agree about the dress. The best display would be the pieces alone. Second best mounting where the carving is on the inside and out of sight!.

I think that the Javanese and worse yet,, the Madurese (is that a word?) make some awful tourist dress. "Dripping" is a good word here.

According to a very good source who has asked me not to mention his name, these are Bedor --- arrowheads.

Maybe I could get them mounted in arrow shafts. Personally I agree that they may be newer. Always hard to know. I like the quality and the uniqueness. Also nice staining work.
