Philippines wall plaque

Hello!!
This is my last adquisition, a beatiful wall plaque with steel and horn edged weapons from Philippines. It seems very old, I think was a souvenir of the end XIX century. The measures are 19,5 in X 27 in.
The pictures arenŽt good but IŽll take more.
Best regards
Carlos

Sweet !!
More like wicked sweet !!! :D
Horn hilts ?

Some years ago a Seller had broken up one of these old plaques for separate auctions .

I was fortunate enough to acquire 5 of the pieces .

Bone hilts; think mine is 1920's or thereabouts .

Wow! Thats amazing Carlos. I was looking at your first picture and it really looks like a wall of full sized weapons! What a great thing to have.

Yeah post bigger pictures. There has been some speculation that these earlier ones may be more accurate in number and nomenclature than later ones.
