- Lot Description
Southeast Asia, Indonesia, western Irian Jaya, Asmat people (who are closely related to people from Papua New Guinea), ca. 1950s CE. A fine ensemble of four wooden arrows and four bamboo arrows varying in size and form. Two wooden arrows boast lovely hues of chocolate brown and are intricately carved with slender stems incised with rough lattice patterns and diamond-shaped tips. Flat on one side and rounded on the other, their bodies are intricately decorated with a geometric motif of rectangles and cross-like shapes. Another similar wooden arrow is a shade of sepia with one side convex and the other concave. Featuring sharp tips at both ends, this weapon also features a geometric pattern, but this one is comprised of incised diagonal and vertical striations. The fourth wooden arrow is a warm shade of tan and has a smooth almost burnished-appearing surface. Size of largest: 0.5" W x 53" H (1.3 cm x 134.6 cm)
Another pair showcases cylindrical bodies of bamboo in hues of mottled caramel and russet with reeds coiled between their tips and bodies. Of these, one has a tubular tip with decorative incised rings and tapers to a piercing point. The other displays a razor-sharp point, as well, but has one jagged side and the other flat. The final two are also bamboo and exhibit tubular bodies of a dark coffee brown. These two are flat at one end and have spiky tips with cutting teeth protruding in all directions at the other. Strands of woven vegetal fiber are wrapped between the tips and bodies of both.
