Mindanao Kampilan Machete Sword Maguindanao People, Mindanao, Philippines 19th century - Description based on identical web find. Bunting Note: Derived from the identical found item website. This very long-bladed machete is known as a Kampala. It does not have a sheaf, and given its length, it is likely that it was not intended to have one: removing a sheaf from such a long blade would be physically difficult even for a tall man. -- It comprises a long, single-edged steel blade, and a wooden hilt with a hand guard unusually reinforced by a curling iron grid. The wooden cross-guard is carved with okir (‘leaf and vine’) motifs. The end of the hilt is carved and bifurcated and is probably intended to represent a stylized hornbill. -- Plaited native twine has been wound around the grip. -- The Kampala is a weapon mostly used by the Muslim Maguindanao people on Mindanao island.
