Ifugao ginnutu and bolo for Book
 
I am writing a book about Northern Philippine tribal art, and am looking for museum quality examples of the Ifugao ginuttu shell belt and bolo. Does anyone of you have such an item?

Hi Erik

Does this help any? The blade on this one is 17" long a nice old example complete with braided rattan belt.

Ginuttu
 
Hi Lew,

Thanks for the photograph. It is a nice bolo. Alas, what I need is the bolo complete with ginuttu belt, i.e. a series of shell discs.

Cheers,

Eric
