I am writing a book about Northern Philippine tribal art, and am looking for museum quality examples of the Ifugao ginuttu shell belt and bolo. Does anyone of you have such an item?

Hi Lew,
Thanks for the photograph. It is a nice bolo. Alas, what I need is the bolo complete with ginuttu belt, i.e. a series of shell discs. Cheers, Eric |
