Truly amazing work. I collect Chinese swords and these are completely new to me. The artifacts look more like what one would find in Borneo or New Guinea. The weapons have a heavy patina so it is hard to tell any details about the blades. Were they pattern welded? Where did the steel come from?

Nice stuff,
Josh

Ps. You show something called a spoon that looks like a haut culture high healed shoe carved of wood. It made me picture Paris Hilton walking through the rain forest in spike heals
