Sangi Bagobo

Hi all,

We have quite a few sangi/ilap knives in our collection- but this one has a 'protrusion' at the end/tip of the hilt (brass).

What could its function? accoutrement/adornment for something else?

Appreciate any ideas/info.

Kind regards

Yves

Interesting piece! Would like to see the complete collection of your Sangi! ;)

I don't think that there is a special purpose for the protrusion.

Attached two pictures of my two honest examples.

Regards,
Detlef

This was a gift. I understand it is T'boli and this utility form is called a kebahu. However, with all the stylistic overlap among Lumad groups, particularly for utility items, I imagine this could easily be Bagobo.
