A rare Luzon Salakot
A fine silver embellished 19th century Luzon Salakot or district chief's hat.
A fine and recent addition to our hear gear collection and a big thank you to Nathaniel for pointing me in the right direction and Lorenz for the confirmation. I hope you enjoy this unusual piece. Gavin |

MUST HAVE BELONGED TO THE KAISER OF THE PHILIPPINES.
 REMINDS ME OF THE SPIKES ON WW1 GERMAN HELMETS. SPIKES ON HEADGEAR ARE ALSO COMMON IN THAILAND, BURMA AND OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE REGION. VERY COOL!
