Dayak blowgun & poison darts
length: 73 1/4"
This set of Sumpit & Tabang Anak Sumpit (blowgun and dart quiver) came from
the Dayak people of Kalimantan, Indonesia. Used by Dayak hunters for small
and big game. The blowpipe is made from hardwood (likely iron wood),
carefully drilled out through the center. Attached is a small
damascus/pamour steel spear head, tightly bound onto the tip with woven
split rattan covered with a melted-on bee's wax. The dart quiver is made
from bamboo. Attached is a wooden folder carved from the branch of a
hardwood tree nicely bound in place with woven split rattan bands. Base of
the quiver is a rubber plug held in with bee's wax. Five newly made poison
darts are included. Consult local laws before considering purchase, and for
your own sake, don't do anything stupid with this weapon.
