This is a great example. Most of these seem to. E Tagalog and in museums. Yours is in great condition. I would only polish the silver (which is meant to be polished).
Only elite men important to the Spanish government had the privilege of wearing them. |

What a beautiful hat. Is it made from a gourd or a hollowed out wood?
The silver spike is amazing. Congrats! |

Thanks Gents.
Battara, the silver, I will leave, the next custodian can choose what they want to do there. Maurice, a lucky find, just the right place at the right time...I never ever expected to see one. Kino, I was pondering that for a while and I think you hit the nail on the head! It does appear to be a gourd outer casing with a complex rattan inner. Thanks Gavin |
