Spears ??

Thought I'd revisit these spears again. I had them up a number of years ago. I don't think we found a definitive origin.

Here is the link for the past discussion. Maybe some new folks will get in on it.

Yes I was just looking at Krieger the other day and these match. These are Moro, but as to which tribe, that I can't tell you.

What helps is the lamination and the sculpting at the base of the blade.

Perfecto-mundo! Just what I was hoping. They go well with the other Moro weapons. I just wasn't positive after the earlier posting. Will have to research more to find which tribe.
Thanks for your help Jose.

The lighter shaft seems to be Igorot to me

I think that the "Igorot" shaft was not original to the blade. The blades are Moro.
