Kampilan and Kalaság

The Kampilan is a single-edged sword indigenous to the Philippine archipelago. The guard, handle, and pommel are all carved from wood, and the pommel typically depicts crocodiles, sea serpents, or, in this instance, a hornbill.

Scabbards for the kampilan are also made from wood and tied together with rattan or string. Apparently, if needed, one can simply strike with the sword sheathed which will cut these ties and allow for a sort of quick-draw.

The kalaság is a large shield also indigenous to the Philippines made of hardwood and coated with resin. Usually, they feature carvings and rattan binding on the front.

Both the kampilan and the kalaság were used against Magellan's forces at the Battle of Mactan in 1521, where Magellan was ultimately killed after being wounded by spear, kampilan, and poisoned arrow.

The Kampilan was modeled and textured by iitchan25 on Sketchfab (https://www.fab.com/sellers/iitchan25) and purchased by myself.

The Kalasag was modeled and texture by J.R.Ramos on Sketchfab (https://sketchfab.com/JRAR2018).
