Doesn't look like a classic single-beveled Visayan blade.
I get more of a Mindanao feel with this one - Lumad? Regards, Kai |

What a nice clean up! Looks like a shadrigan blade on it. Lovely piece. (Great wife! )

Horn and silver -- My favourite combination! A very curious, but very nice, piece! Once again I find myself envious of your collection, Mr Coleman.

If it may help; I do find the octagonal handle with those rings at an interval quite similar style as I have seen on the long curved-bladed beheading swords. Hope you know what I mean (or perhaps someone else).
Am not sure myself (100%) of where those beheadingswords where used, but I believe Maranao (tribe), Mindanao isld.?? (my expertise lies more to N.-Phil.) Congrats though; very nice one; always nice to have a piece of silver deco. |
