On one of the plaques, it looks like it is dedicated to the Generals of the Brigade, D.Diego and Martin de Velasco.A quick search on the internet didn't result in any information on these individuals; are you aware of any history of these men?

The red Wall plaque was a present of the General to the city of Palencia.
The Green/ blue Wall plaque was sold by 2900 euros. and the yellow Wall plaque I don,t know was the Price.

Thanks

Neat presentations, thank you.

What if any attribution can be made for the double spear head seen down the page? And exacting details?

Thanks for the information on the generals and the price of the plaque(I think it was a great price for the buyer).
I was wondering about the double headed spear myself, which to me seems to be more African in nature ;I have one that resembles that one, but with 4 heads.

I've had this for many years.
It originally came with a collection of Luzon and Visayan sandata.

i believe the double headed spear is known as "dua sanga", per Andson Cowie's book English-Sulu-Malay Vocabulary

Hello All,

Apologies if the answer is obvious, but do we know anything about this one?

It almost looks like a Sangi and a Barong had a baby.

Thanks,
