Small Filipino "Bakunawa" Moon Eating Dragon Mask
A late era interpretation of Bakunawa. Bakunawa is a Filipino mythical serpent-like dragon. Bakunawa is the cause of eclipses, earthquakes, rains, and wind.
Bakunawa masks can be identified by the typical demon like face with horns, large eyes, and fang like teeth.
These masks are often used in traditional dances and ceremonies, as well as decorative items. The movements of the Bakunawa served as a geomantic calendar system for ancient Filipinos and were part of the shamanistic rituals of the Babaylan.

Kombat Instruments Limited has been in the weapons and martial arts business for over 30 years. Throughout these decades, members of Team KIL have collected thousands of unique weapons during our international travels, or at auctions, or as gifts from our fighter friends around the world. We've kept some of these weapons to showcase in our personal collections. Many have been donated to museums. But there are still several vintage weapons that need a good home.
We created the KIL Vintage Warfare collection as a way for you serious fighters to own a piece of martial arts history. All of our vintage weapons are pre-owned and well handled; and several have been brandished in actual combat. Please take some time to look at each weapon and to examine each photo in order to find the Vintage Warfare weapon that would be perfect for your own collection.
