I know that the Lumad tribes traded with Moros and acquired twist core, for example, and other steels. For this reason, I would say that when it came to steel, probably the Moros were closest in access and trade with their Indonesian cousins and thus had better access to steel techniques (again twist core for example).

Also the forms change between different tribes, but the workmanship is still good.

Yes what drives me nuts about these pictures is the false coloring! I will even photocopy these in black and white to try to bring them back to reality for study.

Now that my rant is over, thank you for the close ups!

Whew! Thanks. So those Moros did not wear pink pants after all

If you are using Windows, Irfanview is a free app that can easily convert to greyscale any color photo (among many other tricks up its sleeves).
