Museum Curator Is Nervous When Handling New Weapons in Native Philippine Collection
A collection of Moro weapons has
received by H. T. Martin, curator of anthropology and palaeontology in Dyche museum, and he contributed to the growing collection of native Philippine articles. The Moro collection was made by Henderson Martin, former vice-groom of the Philippines, during his term in the islands, and was sent by him to the University.
It consists of two maches or "barongs," two swords, and a long spear. The blades are all of hand worked steel. Those of the barongs are nearly 17 inches long; those of the sword are about 8 inches long; those of the spear measure nearly 14 inches. The handles of the barongs are made from a native wood similar in grain and texture to cherry, and are carved in an Arabian style. They are bound with rings of metal. Gold bands and woven silver interspaces on one show the intricate work much of the native craftsmanish.
No.59
The swords, which, unlike the barbons, are two-edged, are made it an irregular, serpent-like form, so that the blade would be much larger and more dangerous. One of the swords is made of laminated steel, twisted, then hammered in such a manner that a knife could penetrate on the flat sides of the blade.

twisting was used by the ancient swordsmiths of Damascus, and turned out awards of such fine quality and temper that they were highly prized by medieval warriors of all Christi- dom and by their Moslem foes alike.
The spear measures 7 1-2 feet over all, and is made with a shaft of native bamboo. The head, instead of a long trunk, contains thongs of rawhides as used by the Eskimos and Indians, is secured by strips of rattail, wound evidently when green and pliable, then dried in oven and cured to hardness; varnish made from native materials.
The scablands for the harbors and swords, and the sheath for the spear head, are made from a native musk and show many intricate markings.
"These weapons are especially valuable to the University," Mr. Martin, the curator, said, "for we know they are genuine ones, having seen use in battle. In a few more years it will be difficult to get such spoils and that would mean the use, and will be manufactured solely for sale to collectors."
But their very geomnia nature makes the curator nervous in handling them, for, as he expressed it, "one never knows what kind of virulent poison has been put on their blades, or when one will get it."
