T'boli Arrows

The T’boli people occupy parts of Southern Cotabato (in the Island of Mindanao, Philippines) including the areas around the highland lakes of Sebu, Selutan, and Lahit. Like many ethnic groups of the Philippines, the T'boli use a wide variety of arrows, depending on the target (human, monkey, bird, pig, etc.), situation (to kill, immobilize, poison, etc.), and use (fishing, battle, ritual, etc.)

Here is a group of T'boli arrows.

The Bagobo traditionally inhabited the eastern and southern slopes of Apo Volcano and eastern Cotabato. Although various and distinct subgroups comprise the Bagobo, they all linguistically belong to the Manobo language group. In various literature the Bagobos are called: Attaw, Guanga, Guingas, Guinggas, Gulanga, Huingan, Jangan, Klata, Kulamanen, Manuvu, Matigsalug, Obo, Obbo, Ottow, Tigwa-Salug.

Here is a Bagobo knife, one of the best I have seen.

Oops... The subject matter Bagobo knife should have been a separate thread. Perhaps the moderators can move it.
