Luzon Spears

[Nonoy Tan]

Thank you migueldiaz and Maurice!

Here is another spear, which was also apparently made for ceremonial use. The blade is obviously attached to the anthromorphic figure (i.e. the blade and figure are not a single piece). The figure is made of brass while the blade is made of iron. Also, the brass figure is covered with stain and/or dried pig's blood (which happens after use in ceremonies). Probably a late 20th century Ifugao piece.
