Cette lance provenant de l’archipel des Îles Schouten, illustre le goût éclairé de l’un des plus ardents protagonistes de la reconnaissance des arts océaniens : le docteur Stéphen Chauvet. Stéphen Chauvet découvrit les arts lointains au lendemain de la Première Guerre mondiale. Sa passion de collectionneur s’accompagna tôt d’une œuvre militante : en 1923-1924, il conçoit, écrit et édite le guide de l’exposition consacrée aux Arts indigènes des colonies françaises au Pavillon de Marsan puis participera, par de nombreux prêts, aux expositions emblématiques qui marquèrent, dans l’entre-deux-guerres, la reconnaissance des arts d’Afrique et d’Océanie. Bien que sa prodigieuse collection témoigne d’une visée universelle il développa très rapidement une attirance toute particulière pour les créations mélanésiennes. Il publie notamment en 1930 un ouvrage de référence, Les arts indigènes en Nouvelle-Guinée, où de nombreuses œuvres de sa collection – dont cette lance – sont illustrées, révélant un sens aigu de la qualité.
