Standort

Currently not displayed.

The Ipoh arrow poison is obtained from the sap of the upas tree; it is steamed and applied to spatulas. Subsequently, the individual blowpipe darts are painted with it. The poison works within a few minutes. The spatula with dried poison is also brought along in the quiver. If necessary, the poison can be made liquid again over a fire and used on additional darts.
