Hello all,
another item from the recent auction. Was hoping to get comments on the axe. The axe head appears to me to be of Northern Luzon origin (Tinguian-Kalinga) but the haft is a little odd to me. Maybe of a later addition, the wood is a kind of greenish colour and absent of the usual spur. The collar(?) is also short. I have posted a photo with dimensions and thickness measurements. Any comments greatly appreciated. |

Hi
I agree with your comments - the head looks original, but the haft does not seem correct, probably a replacement. |

Hello Imas,
yes, the head seems original, the different thickness of the blade is a good sign but the haft seems to be not original. ![]() Regards, Detlef |
