Hi Carlos,

Ok thanks but that plaque must have hung somewhere, europe or USA? Spain?
a specific house maybe ?
For very scarce items like this it should be enourmous if there was more info...

Spain, it was a wall plaque in a old house, the seller told me that he had seen the wall plaque all his life.
thanks

Certainly looks like a ceremonial piece that would be borne by a Datu's retainer .

This looks pretty old judging from the wormholes .

Thank you carlos! Does the previous owner has picture of the lances and kris that was with this kampilan? Just wondering if they were moro or indo...
