Philippines wall plaque from Palencia Town Hall

[kino]

I've had this for many years.
It originally came with a collection of Luzon and Visayan sandata.

i believe the double headed spear is known as "dua sanga", per Andson Cowie's book English-Sulu-Malay Vocabulary

Hello All,

Apologies if the answer is obvious, but do we know anything about this one?

It almost looks like a Sangi and a Barong had a baby.

Thanks,
Leif

That's what i was thinking Leif. I've never seen one quite like it. Anybody?

It could be a small bladed panabas with cut down handle!?

You're right the handle does look a lot like a Panabas.

Let me update our story. A barong and a sangi had a baby and it was adopted by a panabas who later moved to Spain.

Oh, and I assume the horizontal thing isn't a crossguard, but a piece of leather which is holding the baby to the plaque. Do people agree?

Thank,
Leif
