Hello Carlos,
what a beauty!  Congrats to this very nice find. The stylized flower with the four leaves remember to a motif you can find on many items from the Moluccas. Look for example this shield from my collection.Regards, Detlef |

Congrats Carlos!
What a nice Kampilan. A real beauty with those carved decorations everywhere. This must be a very old one imo... Regards, Maurice |
