This is a small dagger made by the Ifugao trip of the Philippines. The hilt and scabbard are made of acacia wood, carved in traditional patterns. Including the hilt and scabbard, this dagger measures about 13 inches long.

The hilt is cared in the shape of “Sitting Bulol”, the god-protector of old granaries. The scabbard is carved in the shap of a python head. Woven rattan holds together the scabbard and also forms a small hook for carrying.
