GOPA SIBO

2 Attachment(s)

Hi all,

from my father's collection, a gopa sibo.

This piece was acquired in General Santos City in the early 90s (from an antique shop). The shopkeeper informed my father that this lovely piece is from the Tagakaolo tribe.

The gopa sibo is a traditional blade used for wood carving (boat building).

OAL: 18 inches with a 10.5-inch blade.

Enjoy,

Yves

Hello Sir Jose,

not quite sure about the age...but might be between the 50s-60s.
