History of steel in Eastern Asia – a view on the development of weaponry
 

History of steel in Eastern Asia – a view on the development of weaponry (Macao Museum of Art, 2007).

Is there someone on the Forum who has this book? I would very much like to know, 1) the page numbers of the Philippine section, 2) whether it includes colour photographs of Philippine edged weapons, and/or Indonesian weapons?

Many thanks in advance for any repsonse.

Will this help?

There were no examples of Indonesian swords exhibited .

The Philippines section is pages 320-377, all colour, full-page pictures for most items (two punal share a page). 322-377 not counting the title pages for the section. That doesn't have the introductory text, or details such as lengths. The measurements are in the back of the book, pp 501-505, but you can get these from the web link above (and pictures of all of the items).

Very many thanks - your replies here, and some by email, have been most helpful.
