Figural handles from Visayan & Luzon swords/knifes

Sajen · 13th January 2013, 05:08 PM

I want to start a thread of figural handles from swords and knifes from the Visayas and Luzon and hope that you as well will show the handles from your items.

I will start with the handle from this Ilonggo tenegre: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=16422

Sajen · 13th January 2013, 05:12 PM

Second handle from a Visayas tenegre which was shown in this thread:http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=15015

Sajen · 13th January 2013, 05:21 PM

At last a sinampalok handle from Bicol/Luzon which was shown in this thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...8&page=1&pp=30

Hope you like my idea and join in with handles from yours.

Battara · 13th January 2013, 07:53 PM

Well here is my piece from Panay:

(see this thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...taribon+silver )

Sajen · 13th January 2013, 09:23 PM

Thank you for posting this beautiful restored handle. Hope that one day I can own such a sword.

VVV · 13th January 2013, 11:21 PM

Great idea but quite a vast area to cover in one thread.
Like Jose I start with my 3 favorite long nosed bakunawas.

Thank you for sharing, just beautiful, like before, I hope that one day I will own a sword like this.
And yes, it is a vast area but think that there are cultural connections between both and it would be nice to see it by the handles.

Regards,
Detlef

Here is a funny hilt I haven't posted before.

Battara · 16th January 2013, 01:12 AM

Wow VVV - interesting and bizarre - never seen this form before.

Sajen · 16th January 2013, 06:39 PM

Agree, crazy style!

Hard to tell.
It does resemble some kind of teeth from a small animal more than horn.

Michael

PS Very nice and unique hilt, Robert!

Battara · 18th January 2013, 05:21 AM

Nice piece Robert. I like it. Are you going to replace some of the missing silver?

Robert · 18th January 2013, 05:25 AM

Hello Jose, Yes I plan on replacing the missing silver pieces hopefully sometime in the next couple of months. I have so many projects started that I do not want to start another until some of these are completed.

Hi Folks,
as I am just back from the Philippines and have visited the Iloilo museum in Panay, thought to share some pics of the few arms they had. Think it would fit in Sajens' thread although one pic is of spears n shield. Made some close-ups for the details.
Crazy forms they have, havent they!?; what a nose n that bend scabbard!!!

Spunjer · 19th January 2013, 01:26 PM

looks like they redid the display! pretty cool! used to be, those talibongs and agong were on the wall. i like how they place a glass over that.

here are some more:

Silver one is damaged but it could be restored. At least all the coins are present.

VVV · 20th January 2013, 09:56 PM

Here is another version of the long nosed hilt, this time a Negrito Diplata from Luzon.
