In that vein, here is my picture of one of my favorite pieces. I love it because of the rarity, it is the top of the line of this type of kampilan (unless it is ivory and gold), and I love the artwork and craftsmanship on the ivory croc head and the copper-silver okir chased bands. Oh, yeah, and the guard is ivory and silver, and it comes with a wonderfully carved okir scabbard and a Maranao mansala.

But, Jose, is it wootz?
