Authentic bow with 11 arrows.
Presumably provenance: Arfak area, Bird's Head Peninsula, West-Papua.
Were mostly used for hunting.
Bow made of palmwood, arrows made of bamboo with (decorated) wooden tip..
Arrowheads smooth or serrated, some are decorated.
Dimensions of the bow ca. 150 cm.
Length of the arrows ca. 125 cm.
Bow and arrows date back to the first half of the 20th century.
The whole is in good used condition, however two of the arrows have wrapping missing at the point where the arrowhead is clamped in the hollow bamboo stem (see detailed picture).

The articles are not sent due to the size.
They can be picked up in Rotterdam.
