Two Bagobo swords for repatriation ...

[Ian]

This is the type of response that makes me want to repatriate more of my swords and knives.

They just arrived! They really are exemplary samples, especially the complete one. A Lumad culture bearer went as far as to label the complete one as a "national treasure." I'm in talks with a private museum to feature the complete one to the general public, especially to Lumad descendants, for awareness into just how exemplary their artifacts used to be.

Utmost thanks in allowing these two to go home!!!
