Here are some of my Philippine weaponry displays.
The first 2 are Moro, and the last one is Kalinga, one of the Igorot tribes in the north. I made all of the displays by hand (and not by foot ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Battara,
Isn't that one of those rare Barongs with kamagong hilt with inlaid ivory? Could you please post a close up for us to admire? Michael |

As far as closeups of the barong are concerned, this is all I have at present. If I can get better closeups I will post them.

Battara,
Great armour. Thanks for posting more pictures of it. On the back side, is that a stab wound in the lower right hand side? When you do restore this will you make new horn plates to replace the broken ones or will you repair the original ones? Robert |

I will both make new plates and restore the broken ones. There are even some missing. I got this armour from Artzi at Timonium a few years ago.

Ganda! Very impressive Kalinga items. Do you have any pictures you can e-mail? I just purchased a similar shield, but the rattan is missing. How long is the hatchet?

I've noticed quite a few of these "orbs" when photographing my collection too but not being very superstitious always chalked them up as dust particles either in the air or on the camera lens.

Bro, I think you got some spirits lingering around your swords, especially on that kalinga headaxe/shield...
I'm bringing an EVP next time |
