To me it could be the combination with provenance, even without ivory and gold...

Anyone called me? ; Indiana Jones!?
This may be something totally different than a Kampilan, a Barongs or Kerisses, but its the 'Holy Grail' (or one of them) for me; a rare N.-Philippine
Ilongot-tribe cutlass.
Unfortunately I do not (yet??!!) own one of these beauties and hope the owner of this one doesnt mind using the pics.

If anyone has/knows one for sale . . .?? Would offer a good sum for one spec. with scabbard!

(which can have different forms but mostly with an 'elbow'form)

But I know of a few other 'Holy grails' as well as I guess each tribe has its own ultimate beautyful/gracefull (and therefore rare and wanted) object! And when you think you've seen it all; you encounter an even better one!

Nice Ilongot piece - rare to see these, never mind the fact that it is complete.
