Additional information
by Bruce Jenkins (Author)
This is a pictorial book that shows the rich craftsmanship and cultural history of the islands of Southeast Asia. It covers a variety weapons and artifacts from the Philippines and the surrounding islands that trade goods with them. Each book contains specific information for each unique item, including full color pictures of the item, a brief description of its size, composition and location found. We were inspired to create this book with the intent of documenting these precious treasures of history for Moroland Museum Historical Archives and to share with others these unique historical weapons and artifacts. Many of these items have never been seen by the public in any form other than by their original owners as these are from private collections located in the Philippines and can only be viewed in the Moroland Museum Historical Publications books.This book is the first book in a series of rare books with multiple volumes on specific subjects. These subjects include swords, daggers, shields, armor, bows & arrows, etc.
