Just for good measure, here is a picture of the Kalinga datu brass mounted head axe (with white metal engraved end).

Battara,
Great armour. Thanks for posting more pictures of it. On the back side, is that a stab wound in the lower right hand side? When you do restore this will you make new horn plates to replace the broken ones or will you repair the original ones?

I will both make new plates and restore the broken ones. There are even some missing. I got this armour from Artzi at Timonium a few years ago.

Thumbs up Kalinga hatchet and shield

Ganda! Very impressive Kalinga items. Do you have any pictures you can e-mail? I just purchased a similar shield, but the rattan is missing. How long is the hatchet?
