Hi Xas,
Just amazing quality and diversity of pieces. There are a few Indonesian items in there as well, and perhaps a Malay piece or two. I suppose it would be too much to ask whether there is any indication of when these items were collected? Ian. |

Glad you liked it gents! The mixing-in of Indomalay items are, in my opinion, an indicator of the human and artifact movements between PH and other locations during certain eras. As a conservative guess, I believe that most of the items (except probably for the Krises and kampilans, some of which I believe are older) were late Spanish colonial era up to American era
