BAGOBO BOLO?
Hi friends,
From my father's collection- a supposed to be Bagobo bolo (a kampilan?).
1) in one of my earlier posts, I have shared a presumably tagagaolo bolo with a similar scabbard design (floral side of the scabbard/round metallic discs).
My father remembers this piece as a Bagobo bolo (as what was told to him by the antique seller in General Santos City). We have Bagobo bolos/swords (aside from the 'datu' class earlier posted) in our collection- but they have hilts with a combination of wood + metal designs - this one has a solid hilt made out of brass.
Looking at the design on the brass hilt- it makes me wonder in indeed this is Bagobo.
Any feedback/inputs would be appreciated.
Regards
Yves
