Hey guys

What do you think of this one from Igorot tribe.

That has a much scarier look than any of the "fantasy" axes, swords and knives.

Wow, now that would be the type of Kalinga axe that I would expect to draw such a price. Very nice head, knob out of the hilt, very nice brass work (so rare to see so much so well done). Wow. Very nice.

Yes, this is Kalinga as Federico has said. I would call this a datu ceremonial piece. I have a kalinga and Bontoc one as well. Congratulations.
