ARRRRGH!! I HAVE GOT TO GET A BETTER CAMERA AND SOFTWARE THE ADOBE AUTO FIX DIDN'T WORK VERY WELL AND I GUESS I ENLARGED IT TOO MUCH. OH WELL I DID THE BEST I COULD.
IN THE BOOTH PICTURE THERE ARE 3 DAYAK MANDAU, A BATAK SWORD, A DAGGER FROM INDONESIA WITH THE CURRELD HANDLE, A BONTOK AXE TWO DAYAK SHIELDS, A PHILIPPINE SHIELD AND A OCEANIC SHIELD IN THE MIDDLE. THE DEALER HAS SOME TRULY EXCEPTIONAL MANDAU IN HIS COLLECTION BUT DIDN'T BRING VERY MANY THIS YEAR BUT WHAT HE DID BRING WAS EXCELLENT. HE HAD SOME OTHER ETHINOGRAPHIC ART AS WELL AS THE SWORDS.
THE OTHER PICTURES ARE OF A NORTH WEST COAST INDIAN KNIFE IT HAS A COPPER HANDLE REFERRED TO AS A DOGFISH , SHOWN IS THE TOP OF THE HEAD THE BOTTOM HAS THE CRESENT SHARK MOUTH. THIS DEALER HAD TWO MORE EXCELLENT N.W. COAST KNIVES BUT THE CAMERA CHOSE TO QUIT AT THAT POINT.
