Hi Carlos,

Ok thanks but that plaque must have hung somewhere, europe or USA? Spain?
a specific house maybe ?
For very scarce items like this it should be enourmous if there was more info...

best regards,

Spain, it was a wall plaque in a old house, the seller told me that he had seen the wall plaque all his life.
thanks

Certainly looks like a ceremonial piece that would be borne by a Datu's retainer .

This looks pretty old judging from the wormholes .

Thank you carlos! Does the previous owner has picture of the lances and kris that was with this kampilan? Just wondering if they were moro or indo...

Congrats, Carlos - that's gorgeous! Are you going to etch the blade?

BTW, looks Moro to me.

Regards,
Kai

I have only this picture.

Thanks carlos.. reason i asked is, normally estate finds have this tendency to group what little collection they have, and most likely, it all belongs to the same country. going by that, the lance looks indonesian, hence the kampy could be indonesian (borneo) as well?
