Two new talibons?

Quite so, Detlef. I bought many of mine more than 20 years ago when they were mostly around $10-15. I used to give them to friends as inexpensive gifts. However, these modern ones are not really used as weapons (although they could be) and many seem to have been made for the tourist and as keepsakes for the local population.

I like dogs and had a fondness for dog-headed talibon, and still have a couple left -- see attached pictures.

In part because I've been lucky, and in part because I'm a cheapskate, most of mine have either been in this range or fairly close. In fact no single ethnographic weapon that I owe has cost me more than $200. I think this is part of why my significant other tolerates it. ;-)

I can't help but smile looking at these. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks,
