Also a nice shield...compared to mine it seems to have a different patina/colour and a double, differently woven rattenband.
Nice blade next to it...

I noticed that the wood surrounding the lower cut out of my shield is slightly more used...a head or neck would fit perfectly

Thank you Pieje,

i think that my one is a real Bontoc shield, so a little bit different. Which blade you mean, left or right?

Here a picture of a Bontoc warrior with shield, axe and spear.

Hi Sajen n Pieje,
Sajen your shield is (indeed) a typical Bontoc shield. Pieje, your shield would to my opinion be South Kalinga.
Here are some (older) pics of my N. Philippine collection; first the Bontoc 'department', second the (North) Kalinga 'department'.

I think Pieje means the piece of blade visible from your Kalinga headaxe )right side), not Pieje?

The scratches on the shield on the right side by your Bontoc display are from making fire, correct?

Yes I meant the axe on the right. I'll may buy a headaxe if I ever come across one.

Likely South Kalinga, ok. Thanks.

Very nice collection you guys have!
