Possible kalinga head axe
Hello all,
another item from the recent auction.
Was hoping to get comments on the axe. The axe head appears to me to be of Northern Luzon origin (Tinguian-Kalinga) but the haft is a little odd to me. Maybe of a later addition, the wood is a kind of greenish colour and absent of the usual spur. The collar(?) is also short. I have posted a photo with dimensions and thickness measurements. Any comments greatly appreciated.
