Moro Taming's

I am always so happy to see examples of these just because they are so darn rare. Thanks for the sharing.

Any way of generally dating the origins of these??? I can't imagine that they would be anything other than pre-1920.

wow, that's crazy! i like both of them, but the carved one is just too good. i love how even the handle is carved. you reckon this is the similar type that's used in those shield dances?
on the first one, it's probably age crack, bro, unless you could see any distinct hack marks around the cracks.

nice catch!!!

Could have been used to dance with, pretty heavy though.

I agree age crack.

I was researching carved taming's and all I found so far were dated as 1900's
And we're collected in Jolo. Vague on the dating.
