I was told by the antique shop owner that it is from Papua New Guinea, and it looks like it is from West Papua (Irian Jaya), although some expert out there may be able to offer more info. I hung it up in-between a couple of old cruise line posters. The Orient Line was a British steamship company that sailed cruises around Melanesia from Sydney in the mid-20th century. It was taken over by P&O in the 1960s, as I recall: And I came across this rather brutal looking weapon, also from PNG: It is going up above the entrance to the bar/kitchen. CN
