Luzon Bolo/Matulis?
Being mainly a Philippine collector, I realized recently that a big gap in my collection are pieces from Luzon.
With this realization came this recent acquisition. Interesting piece I won on fleabay. All pics are the auction seller's.
The reason why I am posting this is not only is my Luzon collection a bit thin, but so is general knowledge regarding Luzon pieces themselves.
How old would this one be? Katipunan-era? Anything noteworthy about this piece? I notice that leaf/vine motif is a common theme with nicer pieces with silver (I assume from pics) mounts like this. Is there any significance to that?
