T'boli Sword for Sale

Battara · 27th November 2007, 02:04 AM

Hi Folks:

I have up for sale a sword/bolo from the T'Boli people in the Philippines. This tribe is considered a Lumad tribe and lives on Mindanao Island. They are known as excellent crafts people in brass and the hilt is made of solid cast brass with loops for bells and chain. The blade is in typical kampilan or golok shape. As a sword it is complete with a scabbard is a little newer but has incised geometric designs on it. Only a little place on top is missing where the blade has come through, which is typical with wooden scabbards with any age on them.

Price: $175.00 USD (+shipping)

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
