Congratulations!
I haven't seen as many drawings before on the same barong.
It seems like these motifs are found on the shandigans?
I have one and there is one other at the Met with similar combinations of motifs.
But yours are the best so far!

Wow those are cool lookin! They look like sea serpents from the ocean. On the very top drawing, they may have added the other 4 legged animal to give reference to show how large the sea serpent is in comparison to a land animal. I don't know anything about these drawings, but thats just my uneducated observation. :o The star is interesting with it being 8 sided...wonder what that signifies. Which ones forsale??? :D
