VERY NICE ! I LIKE THE CLASSIC FORM OF HANDLE ON THE PEDANG (I SAW THIS MATERIAL REFERED TO AS HAMSTER BONE RECENTLY ) ITS A SHAME THE HAMSTER BONE HANDLE WAS DAMAGED ON THE KRIS. WHICH DAYAK TRIBE USES THE SHORT COLORED HAIR AND CARVED ANTLER OR BONE ON THE SCABBARD.? I THINK THE AX MAY BE AFRICAN BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS AS YOU SAY.

Hi Chregu,
Could be wrong as this is not my area of collecting, but I think that the bamboo container is probably to house blow pipe darts. Regards Stuart |

I am unsure if it is from the Dayak, could be from Timor or even from North Luzon. It isn't a blow dart container, to small. Regards, Detlef |

it's simple not high enough to seen by the cap. I have owned some and handled some more. Also the usual belt clip is missing. Regards, Detlef |

Just as a point of stickler clarification in reference to the title of this thread, i don't believe that the Philippines can be considered "Indonesian" so the kris and the Igorot axe would need a different classification.
