Ginuttu
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

Kalinga hatchet and shield
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?

Ifugao ginnutu and bolo for Book
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?

Kankanaey, not Ifugao
Only Kankanaey and Bontoc have anthropomorphic figures on tangkil. Gaddang, Itneg and Kalinga have simple protrusions of wood/hair, but for the Ifugao the tusks are left bare, as far as I know... ;)

Original owner is Ilongot
The photograph is definately of an Ilongot man. The blade and scabbard also look Ilongot, but often the scabbard is decorated with tiny cerated pendants of mother of pearl. There is a drawing in one...
