My collection of Philippine gunong
Being a rabid collector of PI gunong from the south, and daggers from the north, I wanted a picture for myself showing what I have accumulated so far. The variety is broad, which is one reason I love these pieces. I thought some of this group might enjoy as well, so here you are. These are my gunong. It started raining just as I finished taking the picture, so the northern pieces will have to wait for another day.
Thanks for looking, Steve Ferguson http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...t-12-28-07.jpg Individual pics here (most have been posted on this forum before): http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v1...Public/Gunong/ |
An absolutely beautiful collection Steve. I can't wait to see your northern daggers!

Thank you gentlemen for your comments! Steve |
Steve,
That's a great collection. I especially enjoyed the close-up of the Queen Victoria coin guard - a good example of creative use of available materials in an ethnographic piece. As usual your fine photography does credit to the subject matter. Berk |
Hi Steve,
When will you post the pictures of the northern pieces that you have? :confused: I can't wait to see them and after seeing the wonderful pictures of your gunong I know that the rest of your collection will be of great interest not only to me but to everyone on the forum. Hope to see them soon. ;) Robert |
Sorry Robert. Forgot to do that. Will take some pics as soon as I can. Don't have as much from the north, but a few fair pieces.
Steve |
Wow! Neat!

Thought it was time for an updated family portrait. :)

It's been two years since the last family portrait. I've been fortunate to find a few more examples in that time. Took the children out today for a new picture. :)

Any bigger/individual pics of the one I circled in red, Steve?
It's gorgeous! The carvings are unlike anything I had seen in Moro work. Silverwork looks very Maranao to me though. All in all it's a gorgeous piece. http://oi56.tinypic.com/f1eckx.jpg |
