Very nice. May actually be Tinquian (subtle difference). Great piece and congratulations! Picked up at the show?

Indeed quite find! Congratulations. You made yourself a small $$$$ As I am a collector of these myself can tell you these are getting hard to find.
I would place this one at the Northern area of the Kalinga tribe; where Tinguians meet the (N.-) Kalinga. I see this from the coppercut VVV (atop and below the 'horizontal <> band') which is also a feature on Apayaotribe shields. Have to say that it DOES occur most often that the blade is facing the wrong direction! I'm almost starting to wonder . . . . . Question; can the blade be easy taken out or you really have to wiggle it out??? Best regards Last edited by Lew; 17th March 2012 at 12:43 PM. |

Quick Q Lew... How thick is the ferrule?
I ask as on my own example, the ferrule was thicker than on the half-dozen or so comparably "plain" exmaples I have handled. |

By contrast, all the exmaples of undecorated head axes I have had and/or held had comparatively thin ferrules, e.g., the only other one in my possession at the moment has a ferrule bracketing 1mm in thickness. I wonder if this represented a regional variation, or if was analogous to an 'upgrade' for those in positions of authority or importance...
