Silver Long Nose Visayan Taribon

Battara · 24th April 2011, 02:05 AM

Greetings folks! I bought this taribon from Royston (thank you so much). I restored it with a new top half of the missing nose (out of silver), and I made a new ear to replace the missing ear. Also I took the nickel plating taken off the blade and etched it. Finally I made a new scabbard (made out of paduk wood - a cousin in the same family with narra, but not endangered) and wrapped it in black rattan.

I also have to give credit to Nacho and Migueldiaz (Maraming Salamat!) for their sharing with me their museum examples and field research.

Enjoy!
