Thanks Ronald!
I didn't spot any engraved lines between head and body, only some dotted lines on the shaft.
It's not a single piece of metal, the blade is fixed in that decoratively shaped base,...

Spearpoint of unknown origin

Hi forum,

I found this iron spear point between objects from Congo (acquired before 1940). It has most likely nothing to do with Congo or even Africa :confused: .
It measures 55 cm.

Anyone...

Thanks.
Yes, the iron reinforcing seems to be done later, nails are only used at the edge to keep the iron wiring in place. The wood is indeed very dry and light. The shield measures 86cm in height.

Thanks for this very detailed reply, I appreciate. Nice to know it’s very likely a good piece. Circa 1900 is much more than I expected.
Any idea about the iron wiring on both edges?

Wooden Igorot shield

Hi,

This wooden shield was brought back from the Philippines between 1977 and 1980. It belonged to the Igorot tribe, headhunters of the Bontoc Province. Does anyone have a idea about its age?

I checked this reference: the braided cord covering of the hilt ("typical of the Ngbandi") is identical to the one on figure 36 ("Lokele"). Also the engravings on the blade, especially at the...
