Here is an example of a warrior holding a similar ax.

In the first picture at the bottom, that axe I have seen attributed to the Ifugao.

ITS UNUSUAL TO FIND A GROUP OF AXES TOGETHER AND NO DOUBT IRRESISTIBLE IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT. (INSTANT COLLECTION)

HERE ARE A COUPLE OF PICTURES OF AXES THAT APPEAR TO BE BONTOK. ONE PICTURE IS OF ONE OF THE SMALL AXES PERHAPS MADE FOR A MINITURE PHILIPPINES WEAPON SET.

All things are possible in Baltimore.
I think I know what the small ax is for ; I have a wonderful , approx. 3 ' statue carved from wood of an Igorot warrior, straddled over a headless body, holding the trophy(severed head in one hand), and an ax(about the size of yours), in the other.The statue is in the office ; despite all of the weird and scary items that I have brought home, this is the only one my wife has requested that I don't.Fair enough and maybe in time...............
