My collection of Philippine gunong

Ferguson · 28th December 2007, 08:13 PM

Being a rabid collector of PI gunong from the south, and daggers from the north, I wanted a picture for myself showing what I have accumulated so far. The variety is broad, which is one reason I love these pieces. I thought some of this group might enjoy as well, so here you are. These are my gunong. It started raining just as I finished taking the picture, so the northern pieces will have to wait for another day.
Thanks for looking,
Steve Ferguson

Very nice collection there Steve

So now that you have cornered the gunong market what will you do next

I found this early picture of Steve when he use to host the Gunong Show many years back.

Steve,
That's a great collection. I especially enjoyed the close-up of the Queen Victoria coin guard - a good example of creative use of available materials in an ethnographic piece. As usual your fine photography does credit to the subject matter.

Hi Steve,
When will you post the pictures of the northern pieces that you have?

I can't wait to see them and after seeing the wonderful pictures of your gunong I know that the rest of your collection will be of great interest not only to me but to everyone on the forum. Hope to see them soon.
