content: The collector, Rosemary Gianno, says: "G44 blahan. Temoq wooden blowpipe. Pnaga' (a dipterocarp of some kind) is the wood used in the interior. Dre riyaw (a kind of rattan) is used for the wrapping. Gtah cabot (a kind of latex) is used for the coating. One of four that Pa' Jara' had. He said it was the most recently made. Bought from him on 4 October 1987 at Kemomol, Pekan, Pahang." And "It is a really nice example of a kind of blowpipe that is unusual. This type is only made by interior tribal peoples in the southern part of Peninsular Malaysia. To the north, they exclusively use bamboo."
