Bill,
The horse motif is Sumba, not Sumbawa. And of course I would love to see the shaman's hat too.  Michael |

The blade doesn't look Bontoc or Ifugao.
Is that horse hair on it? Is the professor still with the living, could probably ask where he collected if he is? |

This is nice, but definitely not Ifugao. My first thought was also Batak.
