Help with identification please

[kai]

Welcome to the forum - keep them coming!

Yes, the rounded end of the blade is sharp.

This certainly looks like a tool. Very nice and interesting to see a real example of one of the enigmatic pieces from these wall plagues!

Could you please add dimensions (including weight, blade thickness, etc.) and possibly some close-ups?

I've tentatively identified the top blade as a bolo, which I realize is a very broad term. As noted, the grip is indeed a socket that would allow attachment of a staff to create a spear or polearm.

Please post detailed pics in a separate thread. It does seem to be a really interesting piece from northern Luzon!

This is a typical hilt style for these blades. It is not supposed to be necessarily used as a spear.
