Ofcourse I picked the images from another thread and they are not mine unfortunately.....

Yes they are from the Macao Exhibit and as mentioned are from the Mandaya tribe.

Royston's piece is from the Bukidnon (what some called Mondo) tribe. It is a rare form of sanduko, the highest form and ceremonial.

Oh Man , do I feel stupid right now !

Never should have gone to Woodstock ....

Gentlemen

Thank you for the interest and the information. I have never heard of this type of weapon before. It is always good to find that I have something a little "out of the ordinary"

Maurice - Thanks for the photos.

Battara - I look forward to your new thread on these.
I will post another picture of the scabbard but you will have to be patient as I am away at work at the moment for the next 3 weeks.

Rick - Missed Woodstock but check my location and guess where I am going next leave.

No old sanduku images I have on my computer, but here an old image of a Bukidnon warrior and a Bukidnon chief, and for fun an image of a band of Bukidnon boys....

My apologies, I should have been more specific. What I meant was the Panay Bukidnon tribe.

I think you were clear enough, but my knowledge about tribes and their costume is not my favorite......but I should have known regarding the warriors shield....

But anyway, now I know there are more Bukidnon tribes around overthere.
