THIS IS A NICE EXAMPLE OF WHAT I REFER TO AS A MONSTER HEAD BOLO IT IS NOT A MORO PIECE BUT PROBABLY FROM THE VISAYAN GROUP OF ISLANDS IN THE PHILIPPINES. THE HANDLE COULD REPRESENT A CROCODILE OR A DRAGON OR SOME OTHER MYTHILOGICAL BEAST. YOU CAN SEARCH IN THE OLD FORUM ARCHIVES UNDER BOLO AS THERE WERE SOME GOOD DISCUSSIONS ON BOLO,S THERE IN THE PAST.
